as a not that big a gamer, i was thinking of the Steamdeck to replace my aging Minisforum "desktop".

I had originally thought of the Framework

https://frame.work/desktop

with 64GB/2TB

and then move move the Minisforum to some LAN self hosting work (Jellyfin etc) but it has nothing for HDDs aside from external USB3, (and 1x internal NVME and 2x internal SSD) which i am led to believe is problematic

i currently just run a HDD on the router and use Kodi via a Nvidia box to a dumb TV.

I'd love to hear opinions from those with more insight

I run Linux mint on the Minisforum

I was wrong. People told me weeks ago the cheapest options with smallest drive and without controller will be at least 1k priced. I really did not think this would happen... but here we are. Steam Machine is basically dead on arrival, this hurts.
