Civ VI’s Linux port is pretty far behind the Windows/Proton version in terms of content, and is substantially less performant too IME.
While I can agree that native releases are better in theory, having to target an additional platform in practice means they’re often neglected and offer a lesser experience.
You get cases like Rocket League, which had a Linux port until Epic bought it and decided that they couldn’t be arsed maintaining it anymore.
You get things like Tomb Raider (2013), which had a great port that did run really well when I tried it on my RX 480 and core i5 5600 in the summer of 2016/2017, but now runs like total arse at 30fps on my RX 6800XT and 3700X because it relies on terribly outdated libraries, to the point where it now defaults to running under Proton anyway.
