Love it. It supports ubuntu 22.04 with a 22GB download size. I need find a better desktop with better graphic card to run this I assume, any recommendations?

You can get an external gpu (eGPU) to keep your current setup.
Check the Razer Core X, and add a graphic card of your choice.
Thanks! looks like it only supports windows and macos though.
There are numerous posts of people getting it working on Linux, with some caveats: https://y.tsutsumi.io/2020/08/15/egpu-linux-core-x-chroma/
The egpu forums might be a good resource:

Runs fine on Rocky 8.6 as well.

What about the epic launcher to download your marketplace assets or megascans?
Just FYI, it also needs 200+ GB hard disk space to install, I believe minimum GPU recommendation is Nvidia 2080 (or equivalent) with 4-6 GB GPU VRAM. I've seen posts online where they recommend higher-end chips and much more GPU memory (12+ GB VRAM) for building larger worlds and higher poly resolutions.
