Two helpful tips:

1) You can get at files inside the Linux bit easily with File Explorer - on WSL1, just run the Explorer.exe from the WSL1 prompt. For WSL2, if you're doing the bleeding edge thing, just run it up normally and type \\wsl$ into the location bar and prepare to be amazed. (If WSL is running, anyway).

2) You know Linux has Steam, right? It plays many games pretty well. So does Mac, and you can stream from one to the other. But yeah, for real gaming I'd stick with Windows.

Fun fact, I’ve actually tried SteamLink (streaming from one device to the other) and I’ve tried steam on all platforms and Battlenet for Mac. Gaming on other platforms is definitely picking up speed. But I built my current PC specifically with PC gaming in mind, which IMO is the best possible gaming experience.
