 depends on the game, sometimes games are faster on linux even when emulating d3d. Pretty crazy. 
 Games I’ve played on linux recently that work great and have amazing performance on my RX5700:

Overwatch 2
Red dead redemption 2
BG3
No mans sky 
 Too many games don't work, it's worth it!

 I'll play a game once or twice a year nowadays but mostly curious how you can match windows performance for just that use case  
 I uninstalled windows to get more space for games on linux, but mostly out of spite. Sometimes games dont work, so I shake my fist and move on. 
 Agreed, though I'm handicapped with my dependence on ESRI GIS software. Some day I'll grow up and learn open-sourced geospatial. 
 Windows is for the 🗑️
