Right now I’m using an Intel Core i7 2.8GHz with 8 cores and 24GB RAM, paired with an AMD Radeon HD 6670 that has 4GB of VRAM. I’ve kept the graphics card on for stability, which usually works fine enough to run most games. However, GTA V is particularly slow, making it hard to progress without noticeable lag. I’m on Windows 10 and wondering if switching to Linux would improve frame rates. Which Linux distribution would suit games best? Also, where can I find a good display program that shows high FPS? Your advice would be appreciated.

Linux performs poorly with games, consider Windows instead.

Many Linux distributions exist, including options tailored for gaming performance.

Current temperatures, CPU and GPU activity are being monitored. I haven't attempted a reinstall of GTA 5 yet.

GTA was made for winddows. to run it in linux you would need to use Wine and would be slower. unless rockstar publishes a native version for linux do not expect to see any improvement

Steamos was designed for gaming, yet there aren't significant unique improvements from Debian that set it apart. Updates from the SteamOS initiative are released to the main repositories, so other distributions can access them too.

I looked up my questions with @SCHISCHKA, which brought up another simple query (sorry about the mistake). How can I verify my temperatures?

Linus is the operating system, also known as Linux. Wendell from Tek Syndicate shared a tutorial on running it.

GTA 5 is a compiled executable file, likely a .exe. Unless it's a specific adaptation, it doesn't run natively on Linux. This isn't a typical gaming OS, except for rare emulators like Retro Pi.
