Linux is keep getting better for gaming at a shockingly fast pace and more and more games start to run better on Linux than on Windows. At least on my full AMD gaming PC.
I've done some simple benchmarks using performance tests built for:

Black Myth Wukong (Unreal Engine 5)
Returnal (PlayStation5 port. Unreal Engine 4)
Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (Custom Engine)

Tested distros:
Gentoo Linux - https://www.gentoo.org/
KDE Linux - https://kde.org/linux/
Mint Linux - https://linuxmint.com/
CachyOS - https://cachyos.org/
Bazzite - https://bazzite.gg/
Windows 10 and 11

My PC specs.
CPU: Ryzen 7800x3D
GPU: Radeon 7900xtx
RAM: 64GB 6000 CL30
