Honestly it largely depends on your main PC specs, but like you are hearing from others. It probably isn't a good idea.

My main PC is an i3 from 14 years ago. It has an SSD and 6 gb of ram so it is serviceable.

Fucking hell, you and I have vastly different definitions of "serviceable"

I mean, I still play Diablo 2 and AoE2. I make music on my main PC too.

D2 & AoE2 - one does not need more to be entertained for months.
