Why does he want to use X11? Wayland usually gives about 2-3% better performance in GLmark2 tests over X11.

IDK, I use X11 myself too because with wayland not all programs work as they should.
Not sure how it affects gaming.

after encoutering unplayable input delays about 30 to 50ms on wayland, not even that it also gets stuck on some keyboard inputs for a period of time, that sucks. then i heard about gamescope, so i installed. but it doesn't seem to work, here:

running gamescope --xwayland -- vkcube :
gives:

If I'm you I'd try another distro, it doesn't matter which one. and preferably not GNOME DE.
This way if nothing else you can rule out some problems, otherwise it feels like fighting against impossible problem.

I think i know where the problem came from. why i couldn't run x11.
So in mint, and ubuntu, i tried to overcloack my gpu, so i ran nvidia-xconfig to create a xorg.conf file so i can add the coolbits option.
and xorg.conf alone stoped me from loging to an x11 session, so for anyone who tried to create this file, just do: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 
Btw I tried CachyOS and it's really amazing, it's really easy to use, latest drivers are automatically installed + there is a gaming pack that installs everything you will need to run games on linux.

I don't know how i can make my post as solved.

You can edit your first post and there's a drop-down on the left that enables the 'solved' function.

I've done so with this post, though you can still examine that as the option so that you can do so in the future.

Also, welcome to the forum.
