From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, it almost looks like you'd be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I'm suspicious (not that it's a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn't say what the numbers represent I think?
The numbers represent FPS. Now, Wine is not an emulator and the Linux architecture and it's system calls are written in C, so it's not uncommon to find games running better on Linux nowadays. Pretty sure all games can be optimized to be run better than on windows.
Proton+DXVK is pretty darn efficient. On average it is slightly slower than Windows, but not by much and it can also be faster in certain games.
