I am a big fan of 4x RTS games. I’m looking for one that I can play on my Arch Linux laptop.

The issue is that the laptop doesn’t have a dedicated GPU, only the integrated one, that’s why I was looking for a low requirement game.

I can comfortably play Mindustry, Factorio, Rimworld, FTL, Noita… I love those games but I really want to play a 4X RTS. Preferably not too expensive. Thanks!

    You’re actually right.

    It’s an Intel i3-1005G1 @ 3.4 GHz, which features an Intel Iris Plus Graphics G1.

    I have just 8GB of RAM which is kinda sad. I upgraded the disk to a good 1TB NVMe so that shouldn’t be an issue thankfully!

      Pop the “hood” and see if there’s an expansion slot for another RAM module. Laptops often have that. If there is, you can buy a RAM module for quite cheap these days. Even just adding another 8 GB will be a really inexpensive upgrade and it makes a ton of difference.

      Edit: Obviously always research that you’re buying the right module. The manufacturer usually has this info on their website.
