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 thought of something else you can do with this PC. WINE has better backwards compatibility with old programs than windows itself.

You can jump on sites like MyAbandonWare and download all the old games from there.

Tell WINE which version of windows you want it to imitate and they should run alright.

That way you can get the experience of emulating old games without the resource draw
