Replaced runs flawless in both operating systems, altough at the beginning for some reason and before the main character appears, there was a huge disadvantage for linux mint 22.3, what it comes next is quite the opposite.
The game makes use of DX11 on Windows and so it uses DXVK, it seems to be bottlenecked by the CPU on Windows while on Linux it doesn't seem to be the case according to the metrics.
What's more shocking is that usually proton and compatibility tools imply an extra overhead which takes it's toll on the CPU side of things.
Altough and for some reason the case is reversed here with the Linux having at some points an extra of 10% FPS over Windows.
In the end of the day, unless you really have a very high refresh rate screen which you want to make use of, there is not too much of a difference that I would care at this level of performance.
Still impressive on linux which for a change, have an advantage in some cases.
