I’m thinking about installing linux on my brother’s laptop so he can play games with slightly better performance.

    In a live environment I was not able too install too much - it always ran out of space, but I am not even sure what space it used, maybe a RAM disk?

    So if Steam even fits with all of it’s dependencies, you may be able to try out a tiny game, definitely not 150GB Forza Horizon 5.

    There are ways to make it work by using persistent storage, but it’s a hassle, at this point it would be easier to buy a 25$ 500GB ssd and install Linux on it.
