Fonzie!

we dont have the K, just the regular

Ah, my bad (^^;
I ran an i7-4790K in my gaming PC for a long time, as far as games go this 10-year old CPU still hold up well, never had to upgrade it surprisingly enough!

Still, a 4 GHz quad-core with hyper-threading, and about 8 GiB of RAM, is more than enough to run Windows 10.
Assuming these are for studying, the heavier workloads would consist of MS Word, Powerpoint and an instructional video in the webbrowser, no?
What required tasks were too heavy for these computers under Windows 8/10?
And do they run off SSDs, or spinning HDDs?

Ah ja, in Dutch that would be “zeven”.

Maybe some people touch lips when saying the “F”, in that case we would fail at “vijf” (fünf)

Little side note

those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task

The i7-4790K is still quite powerful, so I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the problem, at all. Perhaps they’re running on an HDD, have little RAM, or you got the CPU wrong.

You can see the CPU and RAM by launching System Info from tbf start menu, and see if it’s running on an SSD or HDD by launching Disks from the menu.

Huh. Same in Dutch!

You just went from having to be immoral when you’re poor to being poor being righteous?

Please make up your mind.

I read “The rich have that opinion.” at first and that somehow fits just as well.

It is better NOT to put them in system directories since those will get overwritten by upgrades.

That’s a purely Atomic thing, isn’t it?

Well darn, can’t argue with that!

Funny for once, but highly inefficient. Hexagons remain bestagons.

There are ten digits in our numeral system, and the thumb is neither a 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Yeah, I believe your edit.

Unless someone ticked the “encrypt storage”-box in the installer, you don’t even have to pay for Pro to use it!

I’ve seen it usually works well.

I believe you do have to change the slashes in the checksum files and run wine setup.exe in the folder, after that it should have a desktop shortcut just like on Windows. You should also be able to add it as installed game to Lutris.

Take it with a grain of salt, I haven’t tried it myself, though.

Just adding that Tekken 7 and 8 run better under Linux with Proton than under Windows, and that modding is just as easy!
Shogun 2: Total War also runs fine under Linux with Proton, but I couldn’t get it to run on Windows, anymore (Flash).

So it really depends on your game.

Username checks out, eh?

…without any repercussions, So Far™

Yeah well, a remake means they made the game again. It’s a new game, with the same content. That does mean it runs a new engine, and has modern-sized textures and models.

Perhaps they could optimise the game a bit more, I’ve always thought an installer that let’s you choose wether to install the downsized 1080p assets or the full-size 4k assets would’ve been nice to have but alas.

Nor models.

And oh look, those make up everything that isn’t music or UI!

Old game runs needs less powerful hardware than new game

Good lord, did you figure that out all by yourself‽ /s
