Seems like the upcoming Linux kernel 6.14 release is going to be a nice one for gamers on Linux / Steam Deck, as the NTSYNC code has now been properly merged in ready.

The article includes a table showing games with some pretty major fps gains, but those are mostly just for wine. Using Proton there will be minimum fps gains, but it should improve compatibility.

    Those increases are only for running games through wine. If you’re running your windows games through proton (which is the default for the deck) you’ll see a minimal performance increase, if any. It should improve compatibility for games though.
