10 game benchmarks hardly are an argument when only 1 in 7 games on Steam are Linux compatible.

Proton runs the Windows version of games on Linux, including games using DX12. They don't have to be marked Linux compatible. That just means those can run without Proton (Linux native binaries).

Those shown in the video are using Proton (e.g. there is no Linux build of RDR2).
