Exactly my feeling each time I get back on personal PC/laptop after whole day of working with Mac.
I usually do that approach with multiplication of big numbers and square root calculation. Usually make it at most 10% error, which I consider quite a win :)
Was worth for me to upgrade 64GiB to 1TiB :)
Black Mesa, Witcher 3 on high graphics quality setup. Generally, I tend to lower the quality just to increase the battery life: anyways I usually don’t notice very much of graphical improvement on high setup.
Yeah, having ability to make installation medium smaller by stripping away unused hi-res textures would be a really nice product feature.
I just a bit skeptical with having an old game requiring exponential increase hardware requirements with improvements limited just for some visuals. On the other hand, it could be WarCraft 3: Reforged situation, so, I guess now it is more of a “there is always space for improvement” situation.
We are talking old game remake lol
Staying with the original also for the performance reasons: UE5 makes it really hungry for resources, while original runs smooth and makes my computer not even turn on active cooling.
My take: Steam Deck is much better, just taking a terrible experience I’ve been having with ASUS laptop build, and how actually well-built the Steam Deck is.
My story is: I bought an LCD with 64 GB storage and upgraded it to 1TB, and made a few fixes already to the buttons (too hard of a player xD). And during disassembly, I was extremely happy with how it was built, because it is really simple to maintain, disassemble/assemble. Like it was actually built to last ;)

If you haven’t set a password before, then it should be the default one: empty. Then, to use sudo
you will need to set one by using passwd
command.
In case if the password was set in the past: the only way would be to run factory reset, or restore from image.
My personal experience says: try dualbooting first, because it will make you to have a working machine continuously. Taking into account that all Linux-based OS behave vastly differently from MS Windows, it is possible to break things, when learning a new way of doing things.
I’ve been using an external NTFS drive for compatibility and big files storage: works as charm. The worst case scenario is you will need to install an
ntfs-3g
driver, although it is usually included with the distro.As for production: I don’t have much experience with that, although I can recommend you looking around tooling that solves the problem. You will need quite a bit of patience and trying things, because switching platform will definitely require you to make some shifts in usual processes you have now. Don’t expect things to be obvious 100% replacement: unfortunately lots of people have this expectation, and get frustrated.
As for hardware, just looking the model up on the internet with adding “linux”, or “ubuntu”, or “fedora” should do the trick of figuring out if it will work.
