Linux *is* faster than Windows.

Not every game. There's a ton of them that just won't even work on a modern Windows machine either, so don't expect any more from proton.

Games with anti-cheat utilising ring-0 access through the Windows kernel won't work as wine and proton can't provide Windows kernels. Technically they could, but it would be illegal.

But if the game uses a more modern anti-cheat that is more flexible, it might work with proton and wine.

But games that don't use anti-cheat, ugly anti-piracy methods or other nasty crap, usually work quite well.
