We all? I mean, I have, but we represent single digit percentages of the market, which is why they keep shoving more bullshit into Windows that no one wants, because hardly anyone leaves Windows. The most that this affects Linux gamers is if you like their controllers or individual games that they publish, but that would be the same as on Windows as well.
We all, all of me. I don't have to care about what others are buying, because Steam and Linux is an amazing gaming experience and they're the ones missing out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
But your entire point was based on the idea that people are switching to Linux in droves...
That was somebody else's point. I just chimed in with my own take. :D

Truth. I swapped my laptop to linux a couple weeks ago, and then my ROG Ally, and next I'm putting linux on my gaming desktop. Just trying to decide on a distro for that one.
On my laptop I switched from Debian to Fedora and that had a distinct impact on gaming performance, though I think it had more to do with how I had it set up previously. For instance I used full disk encryption for Debian, but skipped that on Fedora, because it does seem to impact games noticeably.
But it also might be because Fedora is more bleeding edge, so the OS itself might actually play a role here.
On my desktop I've been running Bazzite and that's been pretty great so far.
I have fedora on my laptop, and it seems to game fine. I do have full disk encryption on. Maybe if I turn that off I'll get even better performance? I have Bazzite on the ROG ally and that is doing really good. I'm thinking about putting fedora on the desktop
