Great to see linux finally getting some notice in the gaming world. It is about time :)

@frodololo @mesamunefire I absolutely love it! It’s funny but native Windows games actually perform better on Linux because Linux is vastly more resource efficient than Windows. Windows suffers from huge code bloat. Plus Linux is more fun and satisfying. 😉

DX12 games suffer a pretty hefty performance penalty on NVIDIA videocards. It's getting better with the new drivers and recent fixes in Proton, but for now if you own NVIDIA - it's usually on par or below Windows performance, for the more recent games. Still acceptable in my case tho
