Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.

    also in the same article: “… When it comes to FPS, the overall leader in testing was Nobara Linux, with Arch Linux and Pop!_OS trailing by 1–5%. Windows 11, however, was only 6% behind Nobara Linux. So, **there isn’t a massive performance delta here, **”

            No it hasn’t, some games run better on the hardware tested when running Linux, some games don’t work at all on Linux whereas all games run on Windows.

            Come back when they test multiple machines running various hardware and when they compare the experience setting up said machines to actually run the games.

            You’re exactly the person this article was written for, someone who wants their opinion reinforced because they won’t take the time to analyze the data presented.
