The game Strange Brigade on Linux with the ASUS ROG Ally could outperform Windows 11 when operating in the ACPI Platform Profile performance mode. But out-of-the-box performance on the balanced profile was very poor.

Unigine Heaven benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Renderer: OpenGL. Windows 11 Turbo was the fastest.
Unigine Superposition benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Mode: Fullscreen, Quality: Low, Renderer: OpenGL. Ubuntu 23.04 + Linux 6.4 + Mesa Git + Perf was the fastest.
