I have an exclusive gaming PC that I put Linux on (ChimeraOS, specifically) and other than a couple kinks with Bluetooth and ethernet I had to sort through, it's absolutely flawless. No bullshit randomly-running background tasks to tank my performance, no random pop-ups from Xbox whatever dropping me out of the game, no forced updated mid-game, no mouse required, and no tabbing out of games to check my friends list or changing settings.

Of course, there are just a handful of competitive games that require kernel-level anti-cheat so be sure and check those. You can always dual-boot as well.
