High CPU usage in bazzite vs stock fedora when gaming in steam game mode

So my CPU usage while gaming in bazzite (steam gamemode) is 100%

I quickly installed fedora onto another disk to test and the same game gives me 50% CPU usage and game performance is a lot better.

I am also noticing some drop inputs on bazzite probably sue to the high CPU usage

Checking with btop apparently it's steam itself that using the most CPU time

Im noticing this in several games including

  1. a hat in time
  2. sonic frontiers
  3. Kena
  4. Trails through daybreak
