Been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC sometime. Stick proxmox on it and pihole. Probably a web server and host media on it too.
Not sure how well it would run dwarf fortress in a VM, play over SSH. Otherwise there is still CDDA.
Small computers are more powerful than you think, if used properly. I stick with a bunch of containers instead of VMs and it all just hums along nicely on a Raspberry Pi 5.
Pi-Hole running all the time barely registers as a workload.
Yeah, I suspect I have a fair few games that could run in it but ARM doesn't help for anything closed source stuff.
An N150 mini PC don't cost that much more once you consider that it comes with storage as well, not looked since RAM went silly though.
