Linux
Linux is popular for many reasons, but boosting gaming speed isn't usually a priority. The only real chance for improvement is when your games are built specifically for Linux and your computer is so slow that Windows itself struggles due to its large size. Neither of these situations applies to most users. Additionally, many people face issues with proprietary drivers from companies like NVidia, which can clash with other system components—a common topic of discussion among Linux enthusiasts.
This is true, which is why I prefer amd GPUs. Not only did the NVidia Linux drivers have a bit less-than-Window performance, their overall quality and stability is worse (also, no support whatsoever from NVidia; but for AMGPU drivers: if you know how to gather information from crashes, logs etc. - even better if you can run a debugger - it is actually possible to get help and bugs fixed with amdgpu by posting useful bug reports in trackers). As for OPs question: indeed Linux is not any magic wand, it does not make your PC magically perform better. In some corner cases it may be possible to do thing X on a setup, with H/W which can barely manage it, on Linux, while it is not possible on Windows. Gaming is not one of them.
