I'm considering whether to switch to Linux for gaming. My hardware performs well with Windows, but I've heard mixed opinions. Is there any real performance boost to be gained from playing games on Linux versus sticking with Windows?

Honestly, gaming on Linux isn't necessarily better than on Windows. I game on Linux and while it works for many titles, some native games run into performance hits. Plus, running Windows games can incur some extra overhead. If you're into competitive gaming, the performance gap can be noticeable.
I've read that some games like Elden Ring actually have better performance on Linux due to its compatibility layer. Is that just a myth?
