I cannot wait for GamersNexus to agree on a testing framework for Linux and then see how many games will run actually better on Linux than on Windows, either native or through Wine/Proton.

Not many because there's still translation overhead - unless you have very good CPU, the results will be slightly worse.

You would think so, but Windows 11 is so bloated out so badly that I actually got much better performance on Linux for most games I play. I've only found 2 games so far that run better on Windows than via Proton on the same hardware.

Windows 11 24h2 update completely screwed all game performance for me so badly I had switch.
