I’ve been thinking about switching to Linux for a while, but there are some things that make me want to stay on Windows. For example, Gaming and installation of graphics card and software availability.
My G-Card was GT 730 2 GB ddr5.
Can I be able to play the games that Windows supported without losing frames?

Actually his card does support Vulkan 1.2, which included Kepler, just not the newer 1.3 that requires Maxwell or newer. He’d have to find the latest compatible driver.
edit: possibly this, haven’t found newer yet
edit: also possible that latest drivers could be used, but would be restricted to 1.2 features, not certain how that works with nvidia drivers and older gpus.
My suggestion is to use a beginner distro with easy dual boot options. Linux Mint comes to mind. Get that going and try it out. If it works for you, you can then move on to ditching your Windows install and/or using a more advanced distro.
Unless you’re more of a “dive into the deep end” sort. If that’s the case, grab Fedora Workstation and make sure to enable the proprietary software repositories. Fedora is stable, and the desktop will be a reminder that this isn’t Windows and it won’t act like it. From there, you can find help all over the place, from Fedora’s documentation and forums to simple internet searches.
Are you not going to list the games that you want to play? If so, then just head over to www.protondb.com and make sure they are playable.
Depends on the game tbh. What do you like to play?
Batman arkham Knight, BioShock infinite, GTA 5 & hot pursuit
I switch to Linux Mint and has zero issues with the games I play. I’m into Rimworld, Factorio, Stardew Valley and other games similar to that. All of them ran perfect except for Skyrim. I tinkered with the settings a bit and got it to run correctly though.
Download the Linux Mint live USB and boot it up. Play around in there a bit and see if you like it. The only thing you have to really lose is some of your time.
I’d advise to quit gaming and do more work. Then, Linux has no problem. Gaming keeps you poor and lazy.
Yes, grind 24/7. That’s the way to live.
Bootlicker spotted.
Oh yes, god forbid anyone take any downtime. I can’t believe all these people waste so much time on recreation! Start working the moment you get up! Work until you go to bed! If you’re not putting in a 100+ hour workweek, you’re just a lazy piece of shit.
I mean, I’m abjectly miserable and I’ll be dead well before retirement age, but at least I’m not lazy!
Your choice. But you could go for a run instead of gaming or mow the lawn, make your front yard look nicer, start a YouTube channel or a website for some interest, learn to code and write a passion project, do some creative writing and publish your first 200 page novel; the list is endless. All of those things are work, but most things in that list are FUN. Sometimes downtime can be spent working. I spend my time reading and contributing to Wikipedia and supporting FOSS projects like this fantastic social media site! Because… this site doesn’t throw shit at me with intent to grab my attention with some advanced creepy algorithm. The code is publicly available. These fediverse socials are the only ones that aren’t extremely harmful.
There are more useful hobbies than gaming, I guess. But you mentioned a novel. Novels are fiction and therefore reading them is a waste of time. By your standard, as established here, by you.
Enjoyment is a perfectly good reason to do a thing.
And nobody’s advocating for Facebook here, so that horse manure is 100% beside the point.
Edit: I suck at proofreading
You could also do a run rather than waste time commenting on here. Obviously you are enjoying your free time in some way, so stop gatekeeping what others should be allowed to do in theirs.
I can’t. I’m in the airport waiting for a plane.
