Whenever I ask online about linux gaming a lot of people say that they have better or equal performance on linux than on windows. My experience does not replicate that. My theory so far is that people that have better or equal performance on linux have powerful machines.
For instance, my GPU have low DRAM and it's on a laptop, I got a solid 60 fps Dark Souls III on Windows, whereas I face 50 ~ 30 fps on linux with micro stutters every now and then.
Besides that, my experience with Linux gaming is that it was absolutely not plug and play, it required me a lot of experimenting, changing proton versions, keeping myself up-to-date on the latest env variable to fix issues with my games, disabling composition on your DE, etc etc and etc.
I used to have fun tinkering with this stuff, nowadays I don't have the time/energy/will to educate myself on the latest tools to run a game, so I just keep a windows partition for gaming purposes.
