Tried Linux (Omachy) recently and the mouse pointer drops frames or chokes movement under load. Just can't use an OS that does that full stop.

I wouldn't call Omarchy "mainstream". Yes it's very popular among developers but that's about it and under the hood it uses some pretty non-mainstream components like Hyplrand WM.

I would argue the OS closest to "mainstream Linux" is Ubuntu or Fedora with Gnome DE. Gnome has many many faults but it's probably the closest DE you're going to get to what Windows and MacOS have.

I'll give one of the more mainstream ones a try when I have a free afternoon, frustrating thing was it wasn't underpowered at all this was with a RTX3090 so very concerning investing in that, perhaps wrongly assumed Wayland etc would have been a similar feel to Mac Quartz Composer fluidity by now.

it does but you need various config tweaks

Oh God you fell for the hype and used DHH's juiced up distro. I encourage you to try a properly maintained distro e.g. Ubuntu, Fedora, or Leap instead of a racist narcissist's hobby project.
