Developing/Gaming on windows vs linux

I've been looking into getting a gaming pc for a while now. And I am also a starting out software dev. Windows is great because I can guarantee that a AAA game I wanna play will support it, but linux is great for development. And with proton on the rise more games will support linux, and im sure that more developers will build their games for linux. Also with windows 10 only going till 2025 and windows 11 (supposedly) sucking. I could use a vm for one but I feel that the os installed should be the best of the two and that I should use a vm for the other one, only if I need it. So which is should I choose?
