Just switched to Linux. It is honestly great: got the basics fairly fast and the overall experience is better than Windows. Back to the issue. In a Counter Strike 2 game, my mouse sensitivity is so low, asked ChatGPT and it said to add some ld preload launch option in Steam, yes it worked but I have to set that every time after relaunching. If yall know the fix please let me know.
I found my old PC in the garage with an i5 4570, rx 570 4GB, and 8GB of ddr3 ram. I didn't have use for it so I wanted to try it out and sell it if it's any good. Installed Windows 10 IoT LTSC 2021, a bloatless version of Windows 10 with a slightly lower idle RAM usage (because of less bloat and processes). Then I fired up CS2 and Fortnite on low-medium settings on 1080p and ram util was ~6-6.3 GB, FPS was going past 80 on both games. GTA V also ran well with medium-high settings averaging 60ish FPS, RAM util was around 6.5. On all those three games Windows still has a gig and a half of RAM at least left to "breathe", and with that you *could* open Discord or something at the same time. Still, I recommend 16GB as being the sweet spot today but 8GB thankfully still remains the bare minimum, if you are on a very tight budget.
