I got a RTX 3080 myself and no matter what distro I used the new gamepad UI lagged so much that it was unusable.. maybe this has been fixed, I haven't tried it in a while.
Also are you using x or wayland?

But you can Dual Boot and only use Windows for gaming. I did that initially

Sadly I wont switch until this is resolved. But I use this rig only for gaming and navigate through gamepadui so I dont have to see Windows lol.
I use UNIX (Linux / macOS) on all other hosts.

Use X not Wayland on NVIDIA GPUs. I'm running nixos on my laptop / desktop and big picture works without issues on both hosts.

I was using X in all of those. Now I am on NixOS and Wayland, but haven't tried steam/big picture yet.
