for your low-end setup, linux would likely offer better performance and stability, especially for gaming. windows might struggle with high FPS titles on older hardware, while linux can run many games smoothly. your specs suggest you could probably dual boot if you choose the right distro.

It’s quite a basic setup for gaming unless you’re playing old DOS games. Linux can help you get the most out of it.

Lubuntu or Xubuntu is a lightweight Linux distribution ideal for older hardware.

If you're starting out with Linux, Ubuntu is a great choice. You can run it alongside Windows 7 effortlessly! However, it won't handle much beyond basic tasks like word processing and web browsing.
