I'll check it out, I do have something on hand though that I'm thinking of going with. As any self respecting "computer guy" I have waaay too many towers around the house and am right now planning to try to use an optiplex 5040 MT as a proxmox box running a pfsense VM and maybe some storage too.
EDIT: Fixed some typos/grammar
Nice, I’ve also thought of installing PFsense on it and using it as my home router. But that seems like kind of waste of its potential. It’s perfectly sized for that purpose though.
Not to necro this thread, but lets say someone I know has gotten copy of a repack and when they try to install it with Lutris it says they don't have enough disk space to run the installer, is it possible to create the wine bottle and specify the size of it before launching the installer?
I had this hunt earlier this year myself; ended up going with the Acer Nitro 5 15. Its fully user upgradeable with DDR4 RAM, two m2 drives and even a 2.5 in drive. And it has a TB3 port for charging and works with external graphics as well. Everything worked under linux right out of the box.
Yea I've got the same GPU and its normally very capable of high settings with everything I normally play but Starfield is kind of a bear it seems.
I was so surprised to have this running day one, just had to switch to proton hotfix and it was off to the races!
+1 for Nobara. All the optimizations make some significant differences in frametimes in my experience.
