You can dual boot both Windows and Linux, and the reboot to Windows when you want to play games, and reboot to Linux for other stuff.
A bit of work, and extra space needed, but you can easily do that.
If you need to dual boot, you should also use a dedicated disk to prevent Windows from deleting your Linux. It has been known to happen
If you have the hardware for it you can run windows in a VM with GPU passthrough to a 2nd GPU
VM's for gaming is not the best use case, lots of gpu needed....
