I’m genuinely wondering if there is any specific game where you noticed that the Linux version was worse than the Windows version on Proton, and how you verified that the Windows version wasn’t just as bad.
I’ve just heard tales. If a game doesn’t work on Linux I just put it at the bottom of my backlog and hope it’s eventually fixed.
Baldur’s Gate 3 apparently had a Linux build that didn’t work well on anything but the Steam deck, and Left 4 Dead 2 apparently has a terrible Linux port.
L4D2’s port was great when I played it, and Valve even made a big triumphant blog post with all the benchmarks proving it worked better than the Windows binary. Maybe your confusing it with Dying Light? That native port was so incredibly trash that everyone forced Proton on to avoid it.
