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?

    If you have a second DIMM slot, running your RAM in dual-channel mode might give a slight performance increase (and more RAM will give Win10 a bit more breathing room), but that thing is basically on par with an old desktop Core 2 Duo from 2011. You can probably get it to run Dolphin, but it will be dicey. Pretty good rig for 8- and 16-bit era emulators, though.
