By any chance, does that dell run windows?
But can it compile UE4 from source?
explanation
If you compile using multiple threads by core count and low RAM, you may see crashes depending upon size and configuration of the project.sure it could! It would just take two weeks!
But not with the default option of using as many threads as there are CPU cores.
Please do educate me on as to how to get Unreal Engine 4 as a "plugin" (of what?) without building it.
The only ways I see to get UE4 on Linux is to install the AUR, which compiles from source, or Compile it with your own settings from the GitHub project.
Sorry, that didn't work last time I tried.
Just because you can get away with 8 does not mean you should. Go google around and find just how cheap an additional 8 gb of laptop RAM is these days.
I didn't say 64. I said 16 which is perfectly reasonable. Your comment reads like damage control from an apple employee.
