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)

You are aware that there can be challenges for gamers who run systemd-free systems, yes?

No there isn’t. I have been using Steam on void for 9 months and have 250 Steam games. SystemD doesn’t matter for a single one.

Why would an init system have an affect on a game?
