    If someone keeps telling you that you should be using Linux, ask them if they guarantee it will work correctly on your hardware and support all the applications you need without issues (which I can pretty much guarantee it will not).

    Desktop Linux is no faster than Windows 7.

    Driver support can be a hit and a miss depending on what you have. As for making it run faster, that all depends on a bunch of things

    You should install linux because you want to try something new and learn something, not because someone told you it will make your desktop faster
