I am looking for help with switching from Windows to Linux
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?

It depends on which games in particular, some games actually have higher framerates in linux, but you will likely lose a couple frames, not much though. If you have your games in Steam it’s pretty easy to just enable Proton to play everything, you can check protondb.com to see how well each game works and possible performance options. You will likely need to install the nvidia linux graphics driver for good performance on your nvidia card, most linux distros default to the open source nouveau driver, which doesn’t perform as well, but there are distros that include the nvidia driver on install like Pop!_OS and Mint
You shouldn’t do this at all. Poorly supported hardware, and if this is the point where you are asking for help then you don’t have the basic computer skills to keep s Linux desktop going.
It takes very little effort to maintain a linux desktop. This isn’t the 90s, you know. Here’s a quick guide:
Install Fedora Workstation. Once a week, run sudo dnf update --refresh
Got an Nvidia graphics card? When you install Fedora, enable the non-free repositories. Actually, unless you have a reason not to, do that anyway.
Done. System up to date and more stable than Windows. And that’s on what’s referred to as an “intermediate” distro. A “Beginner” distro like Mint is even easier.
Oh, wait, you’re a gamer you say? Well then use Nobara or Pop_OS instead. They’re a bit more advanced, but nothing reading a wiki can’t take care of.
Getting on a high horse and pretending Linux is as hard to use in 2023 as it was two decades ago helps no one. Not the potential new user, not the community or its reputation, no one.
I hate this RTFM/yur 2 dumb attitude more than damn near anything in the community. It’s such bullshit.
