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?

If you want to know my honest opinion then instead of focusing on the operating system you should focus on the hardware. An old inefficient low-clocked six core server CPU is no match for a RTX 3060.

Linux could still make a significant improvement in responsiveness or performance. Especially with something like Cachyos.
