This isn't clear-cut nowadays (especially if you avoid Ubuntu). Linux and Windows trade blows in terms of performance. OpenGL, Vulkan, DX11, and DX12 are all supported on Linux. Some features are a work in progress (RT on AMD for example), NVIDIA are cleaning up their act and their Linux experience matches their Windows experience (and they have full API coverage). Windows only holds dominance through anti-cheat support. I would say that PC is still the platform for gaming.

Anti-cheat is improving though [0]. EAC and Battleye both have Linux/Proton support and so just need for developers to enable within their apps (Battleye only needs for the Devs to send an email for BE to activate it their end). [0] https://areweanticheatyet.com https://areweanticheatyet.com

It isn't just anti-cheat, it's support for peripherals and games as well. I recently got into DCS (sometimes kinda works on Linux via WINE), for which I purchased nearly $1000 worth of high-end peripherals which technically work on Linux, kinda, if you give up half of their feature sets because the software that gives you access to those features doesn't work on Linux. VR is also a shitshow on Linux.
