I made the same switch but all linux always feels slightly jank. I think Macos is the best premium decoupling from Winblows, but that comes with its own ecosystem lock in. I use all three equally daily and it just drives me insane. Lots of games on Windows ONLY work on windows due to anti cheat. Ie BattleField 6.... MacOs Gaming is non existent and any attempt with say wine/parallels or whatever brings you back to windows.... Linux / PopOS / Cosmic is so close to being there but the gaming restrictions takes you back to Windows.. I tried the whole WSL2 but lots of apps need so much tuning to work properly.. Ie android studio needs to be specially configured to use the WSL2 paths and it gets broken fast.

Over the years I feel they're all janky in different ways. That being said, especially lately the Windows and MacOS UX changes are getting less thoughtful and the design vs usability scale is going all the way to the design end.

Which would almost be unfortunate, but Battlefield 6 is the same slop as 2042 with a fanservice texture pack on top. You can play BF4, BF2, Bad Company, Arma 2/3/Reforger, and even DCS World without issue on Linux - why are you spending $70 to install a rootkit for a game you'll put 20 hours into, tops?

Giving up Windows pushed me to play better games and stay off the unhealthy AAA release cycle that has strangled innovation for years. If I was still playing Rainbow Six Siege then I wouldn't know how to cold-start an F-16 blk. 50.

  Escape From Tarkov doesn't have functional anticheat on Windows. Most people either play EFT against bots (which is a $10 DLC) or modded SPT (which is free and works on Linux). Even livestreamers are struggling to play a match without cheaters post 1.0 release, you might as well play Anomaly EFP.
  There's definitely a list of games that don't work; they're usually outnumbered 10:1 by better titles. I haven't booted into Windows for 7 years, there's just not many new releases worth the effort.
