What's the best Linux alternative to Windows for gaming (self.operating_systems)

I use Windows for my desktop PC but I'm also a fan of Linux for work and programming.

I'm not really liking the direction windows is taking so it would be nice to explore some other alternatives. I mostly use my desktop for gaming, so I'm interested in how people are gaming on Linux

I want to share though. AMD RX 7xxx do not have overclocking options along with fan controls. I track news since January and they probably won't have this stuff implemented till the end of the year or even later. Other generations are pretty flawless.

Overclocking on Linux for this generation is "deprecated" and no new mechanisms are introduced yet, so better avoid this generation at least for now. You will be able to only control power limit for now.

Edit: Regarding CPUs - all the required patches are merged and there is only work on further optimization at the moment.
