I’m thinking of buying a cheaper laptop that has Ryzen 7 in it. I’m the type of guy who only plays simple games that don’t require the latest and greatest machinery to operate. I just like dungeon crawlers, RPG maker games, and other simple concept games.
Sure, I game on my Linux laptop with a Ryzen 5 all the time. Worst case scenario, you’ll get bad frame rates or crash. Many games, especially 2D ones, should run no problem.
