Has the issue ever been that Linux underperforms? Or has it been that you have to use a special distro or spend countless hour configuring your own? And will likely need to tweak some more for each game you install?
Also why is it comparing to win11? Is that supposed to be the better OS for games? I’m pretty sure most games run better on Windows 10 simply because that’s what devs are more familiar with.
The media will do anything to put Linux vs Windows in a title.

This hasn’t been true for some time now, with only the very rare exception. Ubuntu for example works out of the box. It is becoming a somewhat common phenomenon to see proton outperform windows.
The largest problem is denuvo (which is gross on any OS) since it unfortunately locks Linux gamers out of many popular games.
Edit: I may have misinterpreted your comment. Perhaps you were saying that Linux only beats windows in game performance when special distros and tweaks are used. I’m sure this is true in some cases. Apologies if I didn’t contribute anything meaningful :(
