This is an utter failure of oversight in governance. And likely a misappropriation of government funds.
What a colossally shortsighted decision.

I’m mostly worried about the performance downgrade tbh. I remember trying the last of us on there and I had to dump the settings to low in order to even get 60 on my 3070 at 1080p when on windows I was on ultra getting consistently around 100. Maybe it was just that game idk
It’s a legit concern, but like you said I think it’s very game dependent. Proton gets updates all the time, too. My recommendation is to look it up on protondb and see if there are major issues or tweaks you can apply. All I can say is there is no Linux tax on games. A game can run as well or better on Linux as Windows. It comes down to the specifics of the game.
I’ll check proton db when I get the chance. Tbf the last of us is a pretty messy pc port so it’s likely something related to that.
I did a quick check, and both The Last of Us Part I and II are rated Gold. In my experience, a gold rating is a good sign, but you may still need to tweak a setting or two. Definitively worth reading the comments and look especially if there are any known issues with your particular setup. Even things like dual screens, HiDPI, etc can sometimes make a difference.
The reason things are so unpredictable is it all works like Wine does: it doesn’t run Windows in a virtual machine: it re-implements the APIs (like Direct3D). This makes things fast (and sometimes faster!), when they work, but when the implementations deviate things can go off the rails.
Could be the game, could be the version of Proton, could be the driver. Could be plenty of things. It isn’t quite as plug and play as Windows can be, but it’s not that bad, provided your stack is compatible. I personally don’t really have any problems.
