Yes, it's great that you actually test Windows and Linux on the same system.
I'm just going off the title since it implies that Linux generally runs Windows games better, which isn't the norm.
According to the german tech magazin ComputerBase, Linux generally performs much worse on the 1% low fps. Those largely determine how smooth the game actually feels.

This is very interesting. Keep in mind these are all DX12 games and VKD3D is still under heavy dev. Still nice to have it as information. Thank you very much! :)
Yes and iirc the benchmarks are from relatively short after the release so there might be room for improvement.
Imo new titles are important to look at when it comes to how people perceive gaming on linux for the first time.
It's always suprising how well and consistent dxvk performs. I'm sure it's a lot of work with many games requiring special attention.
