As all the cool kids keep saying, now is a great time to try out Linux.

No, I’m not recommending a distro for you, that is what DuckDuckGo is for.

Can you run windows games on linux without it being resource intensive like using a vm or something?

Gaming in Linux on a windows VM isn’t viable for most systems. Most games run really well through proton with little to no effort. Some even run better on Linux than on windows. You just can’t play a lot of the most popular competitive online games because it flags their anti cheat.
