On Linux native vulkan games actually beat windows with nvdia gpu (ignore the cat pic, pictures comparison in body of the post) (lemmy.ca)

In many games it does, but I'm not sure this comparison is a good example of that, as it shows persistent CPU stutter on Linux. With those spikes, Windows would be the smoother experience even if the average frametimes are slightly better on Linux.

Yeah I’m not sure what’s up with that, maybe OP needs to try a different scheduler?

As I... think has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can run Gamescope + Proton + Wayland, and force the refresh rate.

You can do this with xrandr or sometimes some games actually expose it as a thing you can directly configure.

Presumably, you could set this to, for this example, 90, and probably help out the frame timing variance a bit.
