So i have a gaming desktop that not the best or the newest. What takes up most of my drive space is games, updates, and software’s. Im wondering if i should switch to linux and if linux will improve any performance for my main machine? If you believe i should switch what os should i go with or why or why not should i switch?

I mostly game and do mess with ollama/ai tools because i think that’s cool. I want to do more things in the future but that might beyond my drive space?

What would you advise?

    Try it! You can always go back.

    If you can find another HDD or SSD then you can keep your windows drive full of games intact.

    I dual booted for years (for gaming) and as of now haven’t used a non-linux PC for more than a decade at home or professionally.

    I recommend starting with either Fedora or Ubuntu as they’re among the most popular and have a large community for support.

    Set yourself a goal on Linux, even if it’s just “check my email” or whatever. Rinse, repeat.
