It’s a mixed bag. A handful of games have better performance on Linux. Many are in insignificant difference either way. Some report 15-25% lower framerates on Linux. But VR is a massive headache and I have an old Vive VR that isn’t getting any love from Linux in the form of support. But even just running Nvidia shouldn’t be so problematic. They make the best video cards in the world and I like to game. I’m not going to buy a shittier graphics card just because it plays nicer with FOSS.
Ah the FOSS aspect and that whole ecosystem is really enjoyable to me so I’ll often pick the shittier option in terms of fidelity if it let’s me have my machine like I like it more generally.
Are you using Nvidia? I don’t have a windows machine to compare against but I haven’t noticed any performance issues
