Linux VS Windows
The "Linux getting better FPS in games than Windows" is sometimes true, but only with games, that are native for Linux e.g. CS: GO, DOTA 2.
As for games, that are only for Windows - it can be a real struggle with Wine.
Newer games requiring dx11(Witcher 3, GTA V) don't work yet - waiting patiently.
A lot of(even most I may say) older games are playable, but few without any issues, and performance better/same as Windows. Also graphic glitches etc. are not rare.
Also, some popular MMOS using HackShield, GameGuard, XignCode, XTrap(and probably others I didn't encounter yet) don't work, and won't work for some time(if ever).
Wine is rapidly developing last few months though, so a lot of these things may change soon(or at least I hope so).
1. Biggest thing for a developer is that you can compile using the terminal in linux, which is great. You can set up build environments for different things with different toolchains for specific programs.
2. gaming on linux still requires a VM to really play most games and it's not going to be as good as windows, however it's still very good and there are a bunch of good games that are for linux
