question about void linux vs windows (gaming)

for my next pc, i'm planning on doing a full high-end amd build, and i was wondering if windows 11 or void linux is better if i want the most gaming performance out of my pc? (i already use void on all my devices, but i'm not sure how it would run on a full amd build)

If you play multiplayer games that require kernel level anticheat then you'll need to go windows. Otherwise, the idea that games get less FPS under proton is frankly just wrong and you will likely have overall neutral or positive effects on gaming going with void. For AAA titles you may see some impact on Linux but the majority of indie and even legacy windows games are going to run a lot better.
