It W10 for gaming and Linux for everything else at this point.
Try Linux for gaming now. It's incredibly good. Most games run on par with Windows, with a few actually running better on Linux. There's only a handful of games that don't run on Linux, and that's games with DRM or anti-cheat that has chosen to not support it. I think I've even heard that Valorant, with its kernel level AC can (with some difficulty) run Linux, but I'd probably just say to avoid it if you don't mind.
My Steam Deck convinced me to try Linux (Debian) a try for desktop gaming. So long as you install the latest GPU drivers, it's smooth as butter. I guess what I'm saying is Linux for everything at this point... for those capable of installing drivers from the CLI.
I fought with Ubuntu for a weekend trying to get it to run my game library. I failed.
I will give it a swing again when steam stops W10 support.
I couldn't get anything Debian based to install correctly. I ended up using Garuda, dragonized edition. It took less setup than a fresh windows install.
That's what I'm on too. It's Arch based, which may scare some people because of the reputation, but it's so easy. It comes with tools to install any packages you may need for gaming or other applications. It also comes setup with the AUR so you can "easily" (you have to use the terminal for this, but it's not hard) install packages from there.
For gaming Garuda dragonized is probably the best way to go. I hate the "gamer" aesthetic, but that's easy to change.
Protondb is your friend. I haven't actually been there in months though as everything I've played recently has just worked without issue.
