I stopped using Windows and converted to Linux. I'm not going to be "one of those people" and tell you that you should too, but I've been using Linux full-time for 3 years for gaming, work, and personal stuff and never felt the need to go on Windows except to use my VR headset, which I haven't used in months. I just built a new PC and haven't even bothered installing my Windows SSD into it in the last 4 weeks since I built it. I may never and just sell my VR headset.
I've been using both for a good while by now, Linux is good but damn I know that's a sacrilege but I still like Windows.
Granted, I heavily customized my Windows install, made all the adjustments I wanted and threw out most of the nagging garbage and my locked down work computer is definitely worse.
Windows just... works most of the time, and it's fluent and does what I want.
At the end of the day, most of the direct user interaction with an OS "directly" is task bar, start menu and file manager. And for all of these things, there's a lot that annoys me on Linux. In Windows, I'm very happy.
Just to give one example. I like the individual entries in the taskbar to fill the entire width dynamically. If there's one entry, it fills the entire taskbar, you get what I mean. On Windows, that's a registry tweak. On KDE, that's basically impossible. Like, I'm sure somewhere in the source code for the panel there's a way to rewrite that, but frankly, that's close enough to "basically impossible" for me.
I'm in this same boat. I enjoy gaming too much to be able to ditch Windows completely, but I have it very, very customized.
I enjoy gaming too and do it on Linux just fine. None of my normal games don't run on Linux thanks to Valve's work on Proton. Apex Legends, Mechwarrior Online, Halo MCC/Infinite, and much more all run on Linux without a hiccup.
Unless you firewall it... It is pinging bill gates every time you click start....
