There is no fundamental performance difference between these "gaming" distros and any other ones. Some minor kernel tweak maybe net a few percentage points here and there, but the gaming stack is still the same across the board, and very little can be done to squeeze more performance there without each just getting performance improvements.

Even still, you'd just install those same versions on any other distro and get those performance benefits.
