From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It boils down to D3D12 being slower on NVIDIA on Linux and it’s a known issue. There is some work being done on this by NVIDIA and VKD3D-Proton, but I wouldn’t hold my breath knowing how long things take to improve on NVIDIA side. If you get good deal on RDNA2 or newer, it works incredibly well today.
