In my experience, most games either don’t work at all (very rare), or work 99% as well as on Windows. For instance, I’m playing Hitman WoA right now, and opening the Steam overlay makes the game run in slow motion until I restart it, and it goes in the single-digit FPS if my laptop is charging. Very rarely does a game run better on Linux than Windows. Alt- tabbing in particular is broken in a lot of games, some of them outright crashing.
Never encountered this issue you have, by any chance on Linux you are using a old version of proton or nvidia GPU?
I’m on an Intel/nVidia dual-GPU laptop.
Could be crashing on alt tab if PC tries to switch to iGpu for DE?
Nvidia is likely the problem, also you mentioned dual gpu, make sure your not on your iGPU
Edit: details.
I’m not on the iGPU. I use prime-run to run Steam, and all games properly detect the nVidia card. Also, I doubt the iGPU could run Hitman at max settings at 60FPS@1440p.
