That's not all the factors that play a role in performance in games.

For instance, what fork of the kernel are they using? Are they using zram? What graphics driver are they using? Gamescope? Gamemode? All of those things affect performance of a game to varying degrees.

Also, Proton experimental is definitely not the default on any system, that would be Proton 8.
