As for age, you don't need to be 20 to observe this issue. I'm much older than that, and ca observe it.
I agree that better methods need to be developed to adapt to the growing Linux userbase. Either way, this is a very easily reproducible issue.
I have been testing with wine-staging-4.16, and dxvk-1.4.6, and initial testing, kinda feels a wee bit "snappier". I almost thought my mouse settings had changed. (I actually recreated the prefix, as there was some huge breakage with old/new prefixes a while back, so to make sure prefix was not semi-borked by something i recreated it)
Now, the difference is not THAT huge (for me), and there is massive problems with zones experiencing serverlag these days, so its hard to quantify. Running a couple of Visions atleast seemed a bit smoother. I would not go as far as saying using eg. 5.7 is "unplayable" in comparison, cos for me the difference is not that huge.
I know there was done quite a bit of work on the "rawinput" side of patches around those times (4.16+), and i have seen some reverts on the TKG repo (that Lutris builds from). This supposedly was fixed a bit later, but looking at the staging patches from 4.16 -> 4.17 and beyond, the "rawinput" patches have grown in size. I do not have an estimate of how much of this is upstream either, but i somehow have a slight suspicion in that direction.
I will do some more testing with 4.16 as i dont see any problems using that for my WoW prefix currently.
