insane performance increase in Linux over Windows? (lemmy.ml)

so i just installed lethal company (with mods) and chained together. and in both games i got a boost from 40FPS to over 100FPS! so i am curios what the reason may be?

both games seem to be not too optimised, also in chained together i get 20FPS in DX12 mode but ~110 in DX11 so whats up with that?

also lethal company finally uses more than 40% of my gpu and cpu now, for some reason? i assume this plays part in the performance jump.

Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5-15ACH6A
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU: AMD Radeon 6600m
Proton: GE-Proton9-10
Distro: Arch (btw)
Kernel: 6.12.4-zen1-1-zen

I mean, yeah. Pretty much every Linux version runs a lot lighter than Windows, nowadays.

There's a lot of reasons, but I think the main one is that Windows has to be suitable for so many different uses, while each Linux distro can specialize.

Getting my games working on Linux used to be a pain in the ass, but the actual gameplay has always been a better experience, for me.

i know that linux aint that bloated, but that doesnt explain a performance increase of 150% in exactly 2 games
