You would think so, but Windows 11 is so bloated out so badly that I actually got much better performance on Linux for most games I play. I’ve only found 2 games so far that run better on Windows than via Proton on the same hardware.
Windows 11 24h2 update completely screwed all game performance for me so badly I had switch.
Sometimes you even get fewer bugs on Proton.
One of the best examples was the release of FF7 Remake - it had really bad stutter on release on Windows… but not on Proton.
People even used DXVK (which is part of Proton) on Windows in an attempt to fix it.
I know it happens, but it’s rare. Other example is Nier:Automata after valve created super fast shader compiler for AMD cards - game is so unoptimized that saving CPU cycles on shades not only compensates for overhead but also exceeds windows performance.
Not many because there’s still translation overhead - unless you have very good CPU, the results will be slightly worse.

It actually happens more than you’d expect.

Again it’s rare and relates to poorly coded games
