I want to replace Win10 on the desktop system I mostly use for gaming. It is an older system with an Nvidia GeForce 1050ti gpu in it, which from what I found, should not be a problem. I was thinking about going with Ubuntu since it is well supported. I was interested if anyone has any opinions about this. I am also going to try and dual boot it with the Win10 for now. I purchased a new SSD drive just for Linux.

It’s a 9 year old system that I upgraded the video card on a few years ago. But it still handles newer games like Bauldars Gate ok. Not sure if I should expect a performance decrease going to Linux or not.

I don't own a Nvidia card so I don't really know. I'm just sharing what I've read.
