gamescope
Discontinued SteamOS session compositing window manager [Moved to: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope] (by Plagman)
You can use Xemu for Xbox emulation. I don't know if it's still the case but Cemu used to perform better through wine than on Windows with AMD as well.
I'm surprised to see someone suggesting that Xenia works better than RPCS3. Its general compatibility is much, much lower. It leans more on the GPU to do the heavy lifting, so I guess if you have a powerful GPU paired with a weaker CPU it could seem that way, but I'd say you've been very fortunate if the games you've happened to try on Xenia have just worked without issues. NCAA 14 however doesn't seem to be playable as of now.
Desktop mode is something that has to be explicitly launched manually, and until then it is not running, therefore there is substantially less overhead than Windows. It only uses Gamescope until then, which is a custom compositor from Valve made specifically for gaming, rather than the generic all-purpose compositors uses by normal Linux desktops and Windows. It does so with the "embedded session" usecase mentioned at the top of the readme, which is to say that it runs directly, and falls back to the "nested" usecase mentioned below it if you run games from desktop mode.
