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?

    The big ones for general use are Ubuntu and Fedora. KDE is gonna feel most windows like on any distro.

    If you want something security focused there’s quebesOS that breaks everything out into VMs. For gaming there’s bazzite which is just modified fedora and several other gaming spins like steamOS.

      Bazzite isn’t just modified Fedora, it’s based on Fedora Atomics, like Silverblue and Kinoite. If OP isn’t even sure about which distro to use, tossing them into the world of ostree might be a little much, since a lot of the online advice doesn’t take immutable systems into account. The Discord community they have is helpful, though, and there’s more than a few users here on Lemmy who use it, who I’m sure would be willing to help.

      Nobara is just modified Fedora, however, and it’s also nice.
