>he needs more than 100 watts to shitpost on 4chan
Why are you still wasting so much energy and space when you can use a tiny pc?
>>
I use these because i can fit more computers in the same space
>>
But I am. Deskmini X300, 4650G, 30 watts while watching 4k on dual monitors, browsing 4chan and storing all my shit on 4TBs of nvme. 11 watts idle. My 5800X3D/4070 needs like 50 idle, going up to 65-70 for the same workload, even without any fans

How do I turn this thing into a device that easily hooks up to a TV for emulating games AND streaming (movies, cartoons, anime, youtube, twitch etc).

I love those for what they are. Got my parents one with an i5 for their emails and shit, and got myself one with a ryzen5 and it can play most games released before 2015ish.

for less than $100 used, it's a great purchase if you think you'll actually use it.

Valve could always hire 3000 H1B's and start slapping shit together until its "fullly capable". What's missing besides Fortnite or Adobe? VR on Linux desktop is fine as long as you're on GNOME/KDE

flash batocera on a USB drive with balena etcher. I have an hp prodesk with an i5-6500t + 16gb ram and batocera is a beast on that tiny PC. can emulate Nintendo switch & ps2 games as well. you can install a browser on it and use it to watch movies or TV shows too. then when your cousins leave you can unplug the USB and boot into your normal OS and use it for whatever you normally use it for

i mean its just things like this. (https://youtu.be/ttOs5iWgNzk) i actually love steamOS and its probably the best os ive ever used. but it has a lot of natural limitations because its designed to be simple that require a lot of workaround. i havent used linux since like 2009 and it was annoying to use im not some homo that wants to spend all day in CLI pretending to be a hacker. steamOS has the best parts of windows and linux with very few of their faults and is far better than either of them for a normal user. at this point its just simply missing a few core linux parts stock that would make it perfect.
