From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you're a gamer, you might be interested in switching to Bazzite - it's arguably one of the best distros for gaming right now, so you won't need to use Windows for the most part (unless you've got one of those games which employ invasive (rootkit type) anti-cheat systems - but those wouldn't let you game in a VM in the first place).
Also, 8GB RAM is a bit on the lower side these days for gaming, if I were you, I'd try to upgrade to at least 16GB, if that's possible. But it shouldn't be an issue for older games though.
