So guys,
As part of my fum Lockdown activities, apart from building and loving Behemoth, I decided on another challenge, to see what could be done with a £300 laptop, sans Windows, particularly gaming, but also as a travelling developer's "cheap" laptop. I have been developing, over time, a personal flavour of linux, (Dalix - no ego lol)
I wanted to see what could be done.
So spec:

I have installed dalix, and using google stadia, am successfully playing Red Dead Redemption 2, amongst others.

Anyone interested in seeing?
