Yeah. Generally Indie games run better while AAA do not.

Then again there is the whole overhead with wine and game companies benchmark windows exclusively while optimizing currently.

WINE has very little overhead because WINE Is Not and Emulator. It's just a translation layer. The performance difference in games will typically come from it being faster if run with Vulkan or not.
