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?

~~CachyOS might get you some modest performance gains on that hardware~~

*edit, see reply

I have a similar usecase w/ games and ollama, good support for that on linux

Sandy Bridge is too old for CachyOS. Cachy compiles the kernel with optimizations for newer CPUs
