Most probably: wrong driver + background windows updates + background windows telemetry + background windows downloading ads + background windows Superfetch (SysMain) + background trial version of McAfee with windows

Win 7 worked pretty well on my 2010 desktop [Care2Quad 4GB DDR2] until a few years ago, when I just switched to Linux and didn't care to look back.

So it is a comparison between an unconfigured Windows vs a configured Linux?

Geewiz, I wonder which one will perform better to their liking.

Yeah but unconfigured windows currently is the winner since it actually works, though I'd like to prove that wrong and properly configure Linux , however I'm in no hurry since I've had to format my drive twice already

Gaming on Linux can still be considered difficult in general. The main reason I don't have any difficulty is because the few games I play are well supported on Linux, giving me few to no crashes. Playing Elite Dangerous (Epic version) on wine seems to be causing memory leaks over time, making me have to restart every 5 hours, but Linux supported games I get from GoG work perfectly for normal scenarios normal => Single monitor 60FPS.

Apart from gaming, Linux has been a charm. But I am one of those ppl who likes programming and creating my own solutions for problems (which fits well with Linux), so I can't say the same to someone who just wants "a solution. Any solution".
