    In my experience, most games either don’t work at all (very rare), or work 99% as well as on Windows. For instance, I’m playing Hitman WoA right now, and opening the Steam overlay makes the game run in slow motion until I restart it, and it goes in the single-digit FPS if my laptop is charging. Very rarely does a game run better on Linux than Windows. Alt- tabbing in particular is broken in a lot of games, some of them outright crashing.

      Never encountered this issue you have, by any chance on Linux you are using a old version of proton or nvidia GPU?

          Nvidia is likely the problem, also you mentioned dual gpu, make sure your not on your iGPU

          Edit: details.

            I’m not on the iGPU. I use prime-run to run Steam, and all games properly detect the nVidia card. Also, I doubt the iGPU could run Hitman at max settings at 60FPS@1440p.
