Gaming under Linux is really good nowadays. You’ll only have compatibility issues on a few of the most popular multiplayer games due to poor anticheat. It’s a small price to pay in order to be able to run Linux, which gets better every year (increasingly so in recent years).

Windows tears itself apart every year or so anyway - back up your stuff, throw Linux Mint/Fedora/Garuda Linux on it, and try gaming with it for a bit. If you’re just not feeling it, install Windows 11 after that. No reason to give up early.
