The good thing here is that wine has a really low overhead.
That makes moving away from window and keep playing easier.
For me that i most of the time develop and sometime games, keeping an entire windows build just to boot wow is an overkill.

Well, its possible, but i would like to see side by side comparision, i suspect that some effect would be missing incomplete in Linux.

This comes not long after the proton/contributors was able to work around the Rockstar Games Social Club (drm), which essentially made it impossible to launch the game. There are a couple of Wine builds floating around and driver fixes, but it looks like the MESA driver update was backported to 20.1.2 stable (or parts of it anyway), which is due to release on June 24th.

Oh wow, a game that runs better on the super light, super optimised, super open source, super worked, super disabled from telemetry and spying stuff, super hyped OS which has 3 different drivers for gaming.
That pile of trash Microsoft should just close their windows department /s

I don't see the "Windows DX12" part on either chart.

My Linux is not his Linux and my Windows is not his Windows so what we see is just another time wasting youtube spam without any serious meaning. Well, I didn't see it.

Unless I missed it, nobody stated a very important (obvious for linux users) thing.
This is running over WINE, not native linux. There are games with native linux versions, and they running better than their windows version is no surprise. WINE has some overhead (quite small) but it's far from perfect/finished so it's quite a feat when it manages to run a WINDOWS game on linux with better performance.

Linux overall is not a friendly system for novice users and PC gaming on Linux has improved but is no where ready for the average Joe. If you game on a PC and only want 60%-70% of your games to work, well Linux is for you.
There is no harm in trying out one of the many PC gaming distro's for best results if one was curious.

Ubuntu has not advanced much over the years, in fact it seems to have regressed. Manjaro (arch based) is probably the most polished distro I've yet tried. Everything on it just works. Love Linux sound architecture (ALSA) which I find superior to windows. Gaming still on windows, but anything music, audio, video related, Linux (esp Manjaro) now my pref. For those who still use Ubuntu, try Mint, basically a better version of Ubuntu with more polish.

Still haven't played this yet. I've been afraid my 1070 couldn't crank this out at 1440p so I'll definitely be getting this with the new series coming out.

There is only one true ricer distro!!!
