In case you're not aware, and for any uninitiated that see this comment https://www.protondb.com/app/1086940 protondb is a fantastic database of Linux compatible games and crowd sourced suggestions on getting the best performance.

Baldurs Gate 3 ran flawless for me, but everyone's mileage may very depending on computer specs and Linux distro. Proton, and its counter part Proton-GE, work wonderfully the majority of the time. Biggest issue I run into anymore is anti cheat. Which can also be verified by https://areweanticheatyet.com/

For reference, I'm running all AMD with hardware thats a few years old now. Fedora 41 with some tweaks like feralinteractives' gamemode installed. You can install and use ProtonUp-QT to manage the Proton-GE versions and keep them up to date. I've been primarily Linux at home for a couple of years and have not missed windows. I hope more people are encouraged to try Linux and see what it has to offer

I know of that site, but in many ways I can’t stomach following trial-and-error debugging steps to try to get a perfect experience. Very rarely has it been one command line option and then the game runs as perfectly as Windows.

That's really unusual. I've found, if anything, most of my games run better since switching to Linux. Nothing runs so much worse and I have rarely needed to apply launch options. I wonder if your games aren't running on your iGPU inadvertently? That's the only thing that comes to mind that would cause that much of an issue.
