I've tried several lists over the years. The now defunct Thuldor's Skyrim, and my current Tempus Maledictum list, both experienced the same issue. They get installed and run just fine, but i'm about 60% of the fps short, compared to Windows. I suspect it's because of the vram overhead, and io bottlenecks in wine
That was my general worry, i never got around to really testing it tho. Unfortunate to hear i wasn't too far off on the IO bottleneck problem.
There are some lists that are designed specifically to run with Proton and/or on the Deck, claiming solid 40-60 fps on the Deck, so i'd take a look at what's available in Wabbajack. In my case, i've definitely expected more framerate, but i can't really complain here, because this list is really heavy in most aspects. 100% worth playing though
I've noticed stuttering issues in modded Empire War, but I also run heavily modded Stalker just fine with 60-70 FPS. Wine is a fickle beast.
