Funny thing about running windows games on Linux through proton/wine. Some games actually run significantly better. NFS Carbon is a good example. No matter how powerful your windows PC is, that game will stutter even at a locked high frame rate. It’s a weird bug in that game that I’ve seen on PS3/X360 too. On the Deck it isn’t perfect, but it’s much better to the point that it doesn’t annoy me anymore.

I do not follow gaming tech and had never heard of this before this very minute!
