I'm really not convinced that even if linux, at some point, does become a better platform for gaming than windows, that windows users will swap over. Mainstream gamers probably have never installed an OS before, it's intimidating for people.

Ubuntu 23.10 is the first mainstream Linux desktop distro that I think could be good enough for many windows users. Windows really needs to fumble for this to happen though.

In its current state I would stick with Windows. But if they make it shittier and shittier.... theoretically there is a point where gamers would start switching en masse. Whether or not it will get that bad is debatable.
