The games I play on my hardware tend to perform the same or a little better on Linux.
I’m not saying this is true generally but it is for my relatively small sample.
For reference, I have a recent Radeon GPU. Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur’s Gate 3 and even Starfield (which I haven’t played in a while because 🥱) all fit this experience.
The open source driver for Nvidia seems to be catching up lately, so hopefully everyone will soon have a prime time on Linux!
Anecdotal: first game I really felt a difference in a bad way (it was worse on linux), was with battlebit Remastered.. it's still very playable but I had weird frame drops on the same hardware. Normally it's the same or better though, so whatever :-)
