You do make some good points here about available docs. I just had trouble running GNOME on a 4GB laptop.

I’d second this, but also add that you probably want to use something like XFCE for your desktop environment due to the amount of RAM you have: https://fedoraproject.org/spins

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a few years now and it runs anything I’ve picked without issues (even bigger stuff like Baldurs Gate 3). In fact I’m surprised how smooth and trouble free the experience is.

Two very good points here. The second is the one I’ve been thinking about recently. It’s about considering what format your data is kept in and if you can usably get that out and implement it somewhere else without too much work.
