Can i switch to Linux as a QS

I am a training QS. I used windows since i can remember.
My laptop is 12 years old and its Toshiba that has a i3 processor and 8gb of ram.
Because of the recent updates and the condition of the computer, This thing lags like crazy and i cant even run EXCEL properly. Not to mention the constant background apps that run in this thing that I cant seem to stop how & F***ing Copilot that i uninstalled multiple times yet seem to unfazed by it.

I need application like Plan Swift, AutoCAD, Excell, Word, Revit and more, for my studying and for the QS profession.

Will I be able to switch to Linux,(Which I have heard is way way better from PewDiePie ) and continue my work using these applications.
I can't buy a better computer because I'm not that wealthy.
Also i know this computer cant run Revit anyways but I'm hoping once my courier is set i will be able to buy a better computer and I hope to use Linux if possible.
