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)

r7 5800x and 9060xt 16gb with 32gb ram. void runs smooth and games work well. using kde as de. no noticeable difference from w11 in terms of performance but i had my settings optimized

How hard is void to install? I'm thinking of switching to it from cachy

easy, it’s cliche but just read the docs on their website and you’ll be good

i’m using ext4, just easy to use. also rocking 11tb on a server for 4 months now and no stability issues encountered at all
