Any scheduler optimisation ? Cryotool ? Feral Gamemode ? Linux has its own bunch of optimisation tools.
But I'd still doubt a 100% difference, unless you played a game with known problems under Proton. For my own experience after almost a year playing on Linux I gained between 5% and 20%, depending on the game.
That's the other issue. "Depending on the game" 60% of all titles doesnt work on Linux and the rest 40% works badly. There is about a handful of games that could perform better than windows but with windows everything works. I am not trying to defend windows, fuck Microsoft. I just want you guys to stop with this delusion that linux is superior. In most ways it is but in the way thag counts the most, windows is still superior.
