Sorry, I'm confused on what the question is here. Is it just that a Windows developed game doesn't perform as well on another platform that isn't Windows?
The performance difference is way to big, and a weird CPU behavior. Most games run with very minimal performance impact on Linux. Some games can even run better on Linux than on Windows and I'm not talking about native versions. Most developers don't care about Linux at all.
Currently 100% of my gaming is done on Linux. I only switch to Windows partition to test, compare and diagnose issues with Proton/Wine.
