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?

    There’s a lot of good suggestions here and I wanted to add pop os! it’s a beginner friendly Linux distribution but with more of a focus on gaming.

      Pop is great, but I wouldn’t currently recommend it, since they’re putting 99.9% of their effort into Cosmic. I have heard longtime users mention how certain packages and updates are behind, and while they’re willing to wait, I wouldn’t want to put that upon somebody new.

      Not a bad recommendation in general, but just my two cents about the current state of things.
