It's the "under proton" I don't like. It means the performance is never going to be 100% of what you get if you run it natively. Maybe in 90% of games the performance is close enough that I'd never notice, but I play enough games that for now it makes sense to have a dedicated game OS, which is all Windows is these days to me.

You're underestimating the performance gains from getting rid of the Windows overhead though. Somethings run so much better that it is kind of absurd.

Honestly, I don't see a difference performance wise. There was even this game I've played called Gunfire reborn that was running noticably better under proton compared to win10 on my system. The actual problem that's still ongoing is games with anti-cheat though. Apex Legends enabled EAC on linux and it works like a charm, but most game devs don't care.
