I recently assembled a new PC with the following specifications: GTX 1030 GDI+ 5 Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a 600W power supply. I understand that upgrading the GPU could improve performance, but these systems are at risk due to a recent virus. Would installing Ubuntu 20.04 still be beneficial for your needs? You intend to play mainly games such as Halo, Doom, and Fallout 4—thank you for your support.

Generally, game performance tends to be lower on Linux compared to Windows, and many titles may not run at all.

These titles should function, yet their performance characteristics often show noticeable issues. In games like Dark Souls 3, the setup may appear smooth, but in general, frame rates typically stay under 5%.

Using a lighter Linux distribution could improve performance, but it might not make a significant difference if the issue isn't related to resource usage.

Absolutely, you'll get it right. While it works, some games run smoother on Linux.

OS weight isn't the main problem; the translation of instructions is. DirectX-only titles need conversion via a translator to become compatible with Linux, which reduces performance.

DirectX isn't the sole reason for performance drops in native Vulkan titles such as Doom, Doom Eternal, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Other factors also contribute to slower performance.

Different titles using OpenGL and Vulkan could potentially offer higher FPS, but performance might also depend on other factors.

It depends on what you need. Windows 10 is still widely supported, but newer systems might offer better features or security updates.
