Hello! I've been a developer for a bit, and am wanting to dip my feet into game development in my freetime. I heard UE5 is a beefy application, and while I have a really nice PC, i absolutely fucking hate dealing with windows, and not having a Mac trackpad. So I'm wondering if anyone has good/bad experiences running it on Mac. I'm not looking to make the next GTA 8, but I will definitely want to make small 3d and 2d games maybe containing semi realistic graphics in the future.

Thanks!

True, it might play some role in bigger projects, but having started the Starter Project a getting around 40 FPS on medium does not have anything to do with RAM. There is still around 3 to 4 GB RAM being free to use and the machine still does not deliver FPS-wise.
