Thinking of switching my gaming desktop to linux. Should I? (infosec.pub)

So I was thinking of switching my desktop to linux. I have been running fedora on my laptop for 3 years and I really like it. My main question now is just what distro works best for gaming (considering my specs) and can I use VMs in any of the gaming oriented ones (mostly because I don't wanna keep dual booting).

Edit: I have gone with Bazzite for now and it seems to be working fine. Some games don't rrally work acceptably (I expected that) so I will keep dual booting for a while.

Unless you play anything by Riot or Fortnite, YES

I meant because their Anti-Cheat doesn't support Linux. But yeah that's a pretty good point too
