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?

      I also have computer with similar specs, just with an SSD and without a graphics card (ie. only integrated graphics) and with a slightly less powerful processor. And it runs perfectly fine for me and I always considered it to be "medium-end". You can't play any of the modern AAA games, but for most other tasks it gets the job done without any problem.

        Very much, the comments are making a big fuss out of nothing, "Uhm you need a 50 gigabye ram and Ryzen 6700 and a 5700x atleast to run wattpad 🤓"
