If Windows works for you, you can keep it, especially if you use some special gaming hardware (steering wheel, joysticks...). Linux now has decent gaming support thanks to SteamDeck being Linux based. Linux is fun though and it gives you freedom.

Thanks! I'll try Linux on my 2nd PC. Which distro should I use?

My preference is installing the most clean Debian possible and only adding things on top that you want. The good thing is that new Debian was released recently, so you get fairly up to date versions of everything.
E.g. follow something like https://www.fosslinux.com/49956/install-debian-11-minimal-server.htm and then when you get to console and install plain "gnome-core":
apt install sudo
apt install gnome-core
# Set GUI login for next time
systemctl enable gdm && systemctl set-default graphical.target
# install basics
apt install zsh flatpak gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

There are also custom gaming distros, like https://batocera.org/
