Oh yeah, definitely.

Still, I think you should try with better hardware when you can.

Any differences will not be significant.

Get a Steam deck. Holy hell I love mine.

I'd rather not have to upgrade hardware that can run the games I want to play perfectly fine, hoping for improved support (or at the very least a straightforward way to tell specifically what the problem is). Though once Win10 ends it's not like there's going to be an alternative to Linux anyway since Win11 has strict requirements for new stuff.

It is a ThinkPad E15 (the one I was trying at least)
