AFAIK games generally still run worse on Linux, there are cases that seem to beat Windows performance, but I'm not kidding myself about that - it's just not big enough of a difference to worry.

Aside from other reasons people are saying, I love my package manager. Having a centralized system where my stuff comes from and is installed, not having to deal with searching for websites, finding installers, and dealing with the bullshit they sometimes throw your way. And guess what, if something's not available in the repositories, perhaps because it offers no installers in the first place, I can usually easily make my own build script and install it in the system anyways.

And then when it comes to updating my stuff, I also don't have to deal with every program having its own updating/auto updating system, I just run a few commands and update everything I have installed.

This is the best part for me... well, one of the best parts ๐Ÿ˜.
