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.

That is a very low power entry level mobile card. You will need to run everything at low preset, probably max of 720p resolution.
That card is less powerful than the 1650 Max-Q, which is relatively modern mobile entry level: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-MX150-0-vs-Nvidia-GTX-1650-Mobile-Max-Q/m332822vsm790279
I don’t know if the nouveau driver supports Vulkan on this, nor the nvidia driver, but if they don’t, then yes, you’ll get better performance on Windows.
