Recent testing revealed that Arch Linux, Pop!_OS, and even Nobara Linux, which is maintained by a single developer, all outstripped Windows for the performance crown on Windows-native games. The testing was run at the high-end of quality settings, and Valve's Proton was used to run Windows games on Linux.

is the point of article not to stroke the ego of the Linux absolutists that have some weird chip on their shoulders when it comes to video games?

No it hasn’t, some games run better on the hardware tested when running Linux, some games don’t work at all on Linux whereas all games run on Windows.
Come back when they test multiple machines running various hardware and when they compare the experience setting up said machines to actually run the games.
You’re exactly the person this article was written for, someone who wants their opinion reinforced because they won’t take the time to analyze the data presented.

gaming and the abundance of software and third party support and tutorials on windows is why I haven’t taken the dive to linux yet. So yeah, if linux does gaming as well or better my migration is more and more likely.
I’m gonna be that Linux bro and tell you to switch 😁 I made the full switch earlier this year and I’ve been amazed by how good proton is. There’s only been one game I couldn’t get to run until I did by installing some Microsoft VC runtime. Give it a shot! You just might be pleasantly surprised as I was.
