Do it.

If you have an extra drive, use that so you can fall back to your old one if it goes horribly wrong for you.

Scrolling through your games really quick, it doesn't look like you have any games that would be obviously incompatible with Linux under Proton.

Puppy is quite a unique distro. I myself find modern distros to be much more user friendly, Linux Mint is one I would highly recommend.

4GB of RAM, what in the holy hell, it is 2024 almost.

Puppy runs in old hardware quite well, and has light requirements. I ran it on a laptop that previousely ran Win ME - 1Gb ram, and a newer one with 4Gb RAM. The nice thing about Puppy is that it does not have to be installed - it works quite well booting from a USB or CD.
The Puppy forums were very helpful too.
I did not play games on them though.

And the 5:4 monitor doesn't raise flags for you?

Similar to my old i3-550 at my parents house, 4gb and an hd5670.

It's been running lubuntu for a few versions, so that or any distro that uses lxqt or maybe even xfce would be good for a 4gb ram system...

Its really fast the thing you will have problems with is puppy strips out a lot of stuff to be fast so some games might not work and package management in puppy is weird

Yeah, for beginners any kind of 'buntu is a good choice. Most software has packages for it, and if you run into a problem it's easy to find instructions on how to fix it specific to any 'buntu distro, since it's so common and popular.

Regardless, OP would really benefit from upping their RAM. It would probably cost less than lunch to double the RAM to 8 GB.
