I've used both regularly for years and went back to Windows when I switched to PC gaming and it's just so much better. Everything just works on Windows.
Linux really needs to work on improving its user experience if it wants to be a true competitor to Mac and Windows. All these little config tweaks and command line prompts you have to do to get things working on Linux just isn't going to win a bunch of people over who are used to things being a few clicks on a wizard to get working.
Edit: it's been years since I last tried Linux so maybe things have changed.
fwiw, I'm now pretty darn happy with Linux and gaming. Granted, I use Steam, so there's that.
There are issues sometimes, but I just keep a copy of windows around for windows-only things. Generally, Linux "just works" for me, but I've also learned to just skip it when something requires too much involvement to get working.
