Interesting - is performance comparable to Windows or is there a significant hit?

It depends on the game, but of the ones I've tried so far, most are fairly comparable!

Separately; GOG.com has a large selection of games that run Linux native; though not necessarily the most popular ones.

It also depends on your kernel, the FUTEX_WAIT_MULTIPLE patch solves a specific Wine/Proton bottleneck that native software doesn't care about¹, but delivers a significant performance improvement if compiled in.
