I am going to attempt to switch to Linux, I'm definitely not going to willingly use windows platforms again.

As a lifelong windows gamer I’ve just switched to cachyos and honestly it’s been fantastic. Performance seems on par (or within 5 percent) and it’s super customizable. Haven’t had any issues getting things working, including non-steam alphas. Went into it thinking I’d probably switch back, but have no need currently. You definitely need some troubleshooting skills, but nothing too crazy if you already tinker a bit in windows.

Edit: I’m also running triple monitors at 144hz and it’s been completely fine (and I’m on Nvidia).

For those of us who didn't know, CachyOS is and Arch-based distor with performance focus and some ease of use tools.

this blog explains some difference to other Arch-based distros
