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 game runs fine but there’s a black screen. I might get a few frames actually rendered once every minute or so before it goes back to black. It usually only happens after I let the screensaver go on after each reboot.

      Is your computer going to sleep as well or just screensaver? I’ve ran into a similar issue on both AMD and Nvidia because the power management on each has caused me problems. I basically turned off the auto sleep to give myself a bandage fix to it. My PC runs pretty cool on idle though, so that’s not too horrible.

        Screensaver. Ran a test to confirm it by letting the screen go dark before it went to sleep. Turning off auto sleep didn’t do anything, the PC would just switch to screensaver and go to sleep like nothing changed.
