I've based my information on what Steam says: https://store.steampowered.com/linux

I honestly don't know what to say about the misinformation accusation. Blame the publishers, I guess?

I've since learned from this thread that it doesn't accurately reflect how well games run using Proton.

Honestly proton running the windows version under linux is typically better polished, better performing, and more compatible than the "official" native linux version that most publishers put out, except in very rare circumstances where the developer actually understands and uses Linux and makes it a primary development focus. It's counterintuitive, but proton actually is that good (also most official linux releases are pretty lazy, like "console ports" if not worse).
