This thing has trouble running anything made past like 2012 and the newer emulators out there totally bust it. I tried recently running citra and it could barely hit 30%. Would switching over to linux lighten the load on the cpu and free it up so I could run more demanding games?
Also how is linux for emulation and gaming in general?
IMO the difference would be marginal. If you have a flash drive you can try running a linux live USB to see if the performance is any better
Thanks!
