I do not have any form of exprience with mining, but I am sure that your hashrate will not go much faster, it can be that linux is lighter and easier to run than windows so a higher percentage of your gpu can focus on mining which will get your more coins, I don't know if it is worth all the trouble that comes with it.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I use the computer for more than mining, so it'd be a bit of a hassle to decommission it for an increase as small as 2%. Unless anyone posts compelling evidence to suggest much higher (+5%-+10%) hashrates in this thread, I'll leave the setup as-is. Thanks for the input.
