When was the last time you actually installed Ubuntu? It mostly installs itself with little to no input from the user.
>I haven't tried to set up a gaming rig with Linux, but I imagine it will be like trying to play games on DOS 3.0 back in the 90s.
Install Steam, install game, play game.
>it's easier to just buy an iMac and boot into Windows to play games.
As someone who actually does dual-boot a Mac using Bootcamp for gaming purposes, and who also games on Linux, the former was far more difficult to set up (installing Windows on a MBP from a USB stick is a fool's errand).
In short, you simply don't appear to know what you're talking about. The trouble with gaming on Linux is selection, not anything intrinsic to Linux itself.
