I think the disconnect in the debate here is that many Linux users would happily tweak a little bit or give up 5-10fps in order to run Linux. So when they say “no problem” it could mean that it runs at 100% the windows perf, or 90%. (Or even above in some cases, although more rarely). They wouldn’t know and most wouldn’t care. It runs fast enough because they see other positives with using Linux (freedom, cost, control, integrity, whatever). But for users who really dislike Linux the problem is much more nuanced. I’m no big windows fan either - but I’ll pick the platform with the 10% higher FPS any day. With a 2080/3080/3090 one pays pretty good money for those last 10% perf after all.
