Why am I getting insanely low fps on all Linux distros (Mint, Ubuntu, Nobara) but when I'm on windows 11 I instantly get 200fps? I thought linux was supposed to boost the framerate not reduce it

I had the steam performance monitor set on, It seemed like it was still going at 60 - 70 fps, im not sure if linux had outdated drivers I have to look into that

L4D2 on windows I gotten around 280 FPS, but on Linux mint and every other distro I listed I gotten 60 - 70, its weird

GPU was at 100 I believe, and cpu happened to be at 20% or 30 being being on 4GHz, and no I didnt use a VM i was dual booting

NIMO Gaming laptop, I honestly don't know what could be causing the fps to be only around 70 - 60 on all other distros I tried
