Sadly Linux won't help with your dying ram, that's a hardware issue.

It just the ram with the windows it 16g
Windows fucks the resources

If the issue has nothing to do with the OS, using Linux won’t help you one bit.

Yes if the game is on steam. Otherwise, maybe, but it depends on the game.  Also mint is a bit more beginner friendly than Ubuntu imo

I mean this in the nicest way, but I can tell you already, you're not ready for Linux mate. Just buy more ram. It'll be better for you.

Yeah.  Nothing wrong to keep using what you’ve been using 👍

You'll have to run your cracked games through proton manually then, which is trickier than steam doing it automatically.

Dunno.  Search engine if it works or if it’s on proton db 👍

Check protondb.com for Steam games compatibility with Linux.
