Trolling aside, Sometimes windows games run faster than Linux games… On Linux.
I remember switching from win10 and trying to continue playing Deus Ex MD and the native version had framedrops and a lower fps than what I was used to. I forced proton compatibility in steam to make it use the windows version and it ran significantly better. The real kicker is that when I compared the benchmarks, it was performing better than the windows version on windows.
And I was one of those crazy powerusers who micro-managed services and did policy & registry tweaks to get improved and more consistent performance… Yet Linux kicked its ass out of the box and through a compatibility layer…
But that’s just an anecdote of one case. Some run better, some run worse. Depends on how much effort the devs put in, and dumb luck.
