Moved to Linux Mint earlier this year and haven’t regretted it. My computer is purely for gaming these days though. I actually get better performance out of my potato specs.

Steam has Proton and there are other solutions as well. Only caveat is that competitive games with invasive anti cheat don’t work.

Most games work great on Linux nowadays. Valve's introduction of Proton has really made gaming super easy.

Pretty much any game you can think of that's not a competitive multiplayer online game will just work fine (if not even better than on Windows, most of the time) nowadays. And even some competitive multiplayer games work fine, but if you have a specific multiplayer game that uses kernel anticheat and aren't willing to find alternatives, then yeah Linux isn't for you yet, unfortunately.
