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?

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.
