From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Unless you're barely meeting the minimum specs for a game, on a properly configured system any impact on game performance between the two should be a rounding error.
But that's the theory, when I run games on GNOME the games and desktop itself looks laggy, on KDE 4 I still noticed some lag while with KDE 5 I feel almost like playing on i3wm, with 3iwm you can run many games faster and with less lag than many Windows users (my Windows friends normally have more issues than me). While KDE 5 is my second-best option, there is no third for me. Or i3wm or KDE for gaming. And normally my PC specs stands higher than the recommended on many games (also new ones). If you can test it and provide some feedback would be great.
