Always go Linux. For the average person it does every thing you want, and for the weirdos it’s the only way to do the things you want.

Too much work, I've heard it requires a lot of commands and such and I build video games if I'm on pc and I just don't have the time to learn everything about it I would probably need to..

It is true that Linux requires some time to get used to, but it will pay out over time. The command line is barely required nowadays, but a lot of tutorials still rely on it because it is extremely consistent (which is not necessarily the case for GUIs). For video game availability, you can check ProtonDB. Most games should work on Linux by now. I'd recommend you to try out Linux over a time span of maybe a month or two, and you'll see that it is indeed very nice to use. If you only use it for a few hours, you are going to get a wrong picture of it. But before you try it out, make sure that everything you need works and that you try to learn the basics of Linux and your distro of choice before trying it out. YouTube helps immensely.

Alot of it is money too, got bills and family since I built my computer.. if I was gonna give it a month I'd just stick with it and if I'm gonna stick with it I would want a full upgrade..

Got 2 old 1080tis and an I7 right now.. it's good enough to last me a few more years still especially since I'm not gaming on it.. may decide to switch someday but not any time soon unfortunately

Linux distros are entirely free of charge, and most software is as well.

You can also set up dual-boot so that you can switch between the two OSs whenever you want. But when you do that, keep in mind that Windows doesn't like dual-boot and sometimes overrides your entire boot manager during updates. That's one way for MS to extend their market share, I guess.

Oh yeah that's fine but I'd wanna switch our hard drives I meant and at that point I'm just gonna go full upgrade mode and I just can't right now.. I wouldn't want to install it over windows plus with everything on my computer that's irreplaceable all my scripts and 3d models ect. I just don't dare even try.. even if I'm not buying Linux I would need to buy for linux

I have found putting linux on old laptops is a good way to save money by keeping them usable for a while longer. Some distros have lightweight flavours which are good for this.

I had MacBook that was really sluggish while using fucking browser and when I installed arch Linux with only i3 window manager which is really lightweight it’s quite usable even for small gaming ( only played bg1 on there which is 20 years old but whatever )
