I don’t play any PvP. Ironically, I use Windows for performance reasons:
Native linux builds of some simulation games (Rimworld, Stellaris) are extremely slow (like 1/2 the simulation speed vs Windows with much worse stutters via my benching), and they are still it a bit slower and more finicky in Proton, so… Windows is a decent tool for that.
There’s no equivalent to MSI Afterburner’s “per power state” curve GPU overclocking in linux. I guess I could try to port the curve over via NVAPI, but this would be really finicky…
HDR, VRR, and frame limiting (eg SpecialK) support is also finicky. I can just get smoother frame delivery + lower latency in Windows (unfortunately), and there’s no good way around it.
I sometimes use gamepass.
Also, I’m on Nvidia. Also I just hate dealing with Nvidia graphics stuff in linux…
I am trying to give linux the benefit of the doubt too (I use CachyOS to try and squeeze all the performance out I can). Linux is much faster for some games (like anything Java based, EG Minecraft and Starsector), but Windows is unfortunately objectively better for lots of gaming…
Some of the problems are platform agnostic. If you play linux-native rimworld/stellaris, even on AMD you are getting a massive performance penalty with linux (though they may behave very will with Proton+AMD I suppose). And linux’s frame limiting is still more limited.
Just saying, in this thread about Linux adoption, that for every case of nitpicky issue like this I think it worth mentioning that I have had fewer issues than I had under windows.
Edit to try to be clearer: I usually don’t comment in these threads, but I am worried that these threads then only end up with people in your situation while people like me stay quiet, giving the incorrect impression that all people will have issues.

I have an all AMD rig and no issues. 🤷♂️

A lof of my issues are admitedly nitpicky.

Agreed!
There’s a ton of reasons linux is a bajillion times easier for some other things I do too, honestly I spend like 90% of my time there.
