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?
Pretty much this, I dual boot Windows + Fedora and game on both, it is interesting that a good portion of my games, maybe 30-40%, especially those with Linux binaries, will actually run a lot better on Linux.
I think that may be down to GPU stuff, I suspect it's related to graphics drivers and Vulkan games probably.
