Well, I addressed the gaming aspect for Linux, and if you're playing singleplayer games, you're not going to be left wanting for more because the WINE community along with Proton have done a lot of work to make sure the compatibility layers work. Again, the only reason why some multiplayer games are unplayable on Linux is because of the Kernel level anticheat those games impose. But I say, if those companies need to invade my computer's privacy and introduce possible attack vectors in my system, I say good riddance to those multiplayer games. I'm looking at you, Riot.

As for game development, I will concur that it has not been a pleasant experience, but again, that's because of the lack of support for its low market share. However, there are game engines such as the Godot engine that work immaculately on Linux, Mac, and Winblows.

I'm using a translator for this, but I think it's got the gist down.
I do know of Tails, and I have used it. I often bring it with me if I'm traveling and I want to use the public computers in lounges. It's a good OS, and great for minor browsing and word processing. I have not, however, used it as my daily driver.

If you're really paranoid about being monitored, you can use Qubes OS, which runs every single window you have in a virtual machine. That means that all of your processes are isolated from each other, and will not spread a compromised system, if it happens. I haven't used it before, though, so take my words with a grain of salt.
