Is linux compatibility mode even required anymore?

I have a base model surface go with 4gb of ram and 64gb storage and I recently started dual booting Manjaro on it.
Today I decided to install Fantasy grounds on it to test how it runs on Linux since running it in windows was absolutely painful with my resources constantly maxed out.
I found that all my performance was perfect and was getting 60fps dice rolls and scrolling super easily through reference manuals.
I realized though that I never enabled the Linux compatibility button in the installer and when I went back the check the box and opened the campaign again everything started running much slower.


So I have to ask is the Linux and mac compatibility switch even necessary anymore?

Compatibility mode is only necessary if you are having problems. Basically it forces constant redraws of your window. If you are not having problems with graphics, don't use it :)

There are some cases with various Mac & Linux users that they still need to use it.
