Really catch up on some more up to date numbers.
The reality is current DXVK gets you most of the time inside 10% of the performance of windows. In fact close enough that if you have a bad anti-virus installed on windows result is DXVK+wine on Linux is faster and better quality. If the game is a Vulkan based title for windows most of the time under Wine you will be faster than windows. Of course opengl games for Windows also normally perform better under wine than on Windows. There are many games that run using DXVK that have no micro-stutter.
So depending on your game collection and preferred windows anti-virus your best gaming choice could be Linux.
Yes the windows version of a game under wine is better performance than a bad port to Linux.
Yes I am looking forward to competition between wined3d and dxvk in the vulkan space.
The reality like or not Windows is very close to losing the crown for the best choice for gaming to Linux. I wish I could see to alter this for productivity as well.
