So how viable is Linux as an alternative if you game on your PC?
The only games I cannot play on Linux are Destiny 2 and Escape from Tarkov, and that's because of their implementation of BattlEye, other BattlEye games work fine. Not that I even want to play destiny anymore.
No big loss there.
Far more viable than it used to be. Steam's Proton tool makes it possible to play many Windows games with minimal tweaking. It's not perfect, but it's nice to be able to game without a million Windows processes running in the background, eating up your CPU.
The ProtonDB site is a useful tool to see how individual games run on Linux.
It's been fine for me, but I mostly play slightly older titles.
SteamOS is pretty decent, can run in desktop mode and gaming mode with some performance loss. It is also available for regular PCs.

If you use nvidia forget it. Drivers are still awful. Just dual boot, with a Windows install for games.
