Well, that's apples and oranges. I was playing starcraft on wine earlier this year and there were constant freezes and crashes on new hardware.

Have you tried playing it via Proton or Proton-GE (via Steam or Lutris)?

Vanilla Wine is a bit of a rough experience, I'd only recommend it for advanced users who know what they're doing.

Ah sorry, it was lutris (the name escaped me). I've done all the combinations of wine and wrappers to wine. All of them have a sort of unstable relationship with the calling environment. alt-tabbing out of games never works, there are freezes and game crashes when you try to switch in and out of games a fluidly as you can on windows.

I believe you that steamos is better, but it's also a single task environment where you're not checking your email between rounds of halo.

I'll give proton a try, though i believe that was in play when i was laddering with lutris.
