I don't know what your sources are, but for me Linux recently took over prime position for gaming. I've been dual-booting since forever, but it's many months between every time I boot up Windows, and every time I'm now reminded that the lead it had is gone except for one thing:
- The performance difference is small enough that I don't notice.
- Audio setup is now easier in Linux (using PulseAudio and, since ~6 months, PipeWire). I had the worst time getting Windows to output to the right place.
- I can't remember the last game which didn't work in Steam on Linux, even if it's not officially supported. They do have a huge incentive to improve Linux support now that their handheld console is running it.
- Windows supports more than 8 bits per colour channel. The setup is annoying and fiddly, and it doesn't always work, but damn does Elden Ring look good in HDR.
I've been using the official AMD/NVIDIA drivers (on both platforms) most of this time. The NVIDIA driver kept crashing things so often I switched, and the AMD driver has been rock solid.
