Any benchmarks showing performance differences (FPS, CPU/core
frequencies, video quality, temperatures, etc) between a ported Windows
game (making it a native Linux game) versus using Steam Proton and
proprietary video Linux drivers?

Can't point you to a specific video, but I daresay Wendell has one that
covers it with a gaming-targeted distro.

"Generally, the performance is a bit lower [on Linux] than the same
hardware on Windows."

Those videos were uploaded to YT back in mid-2018. Being a little bit
slower doesn't matter on a lot of games because not everyone plays
hyper-anxiety super-fast changing video games. Reminds me of Paul's
response: "Are we playing 'Soduko' yet?"

I feel we're delving too much into Linux in a newsgroup for Windows.
Linux is great for some things, not for everything. Same for Windows.
Same for Android. That's the nature of general purpose operating
systems.
