From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cheap and good mini-PCs for gaming? (feddit.de)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hello, everybody! I want to have a little mini-PC for gaming that operates like a console. I don't want to have a big, clunky case in the back or front of the TV. Furthermore, I don't play many AAA titles from recent years, so the hardware doesn't need to be high-end. It would be nice if I could run Scarlet Nexus, Nier: Automata, and Horizon Zero Dawn at a stable 60 FPS. The graphics don't need to be extreme; I just want to enjoy the game.

Also recommend some great distro's for gaming.

Only difference is that I can't recommend a Bluetooth controller since it can't wake it due to a Bluetooth limitation.

Difference from what?

Difference from the recommendation of the person I responded to. They recommended Steam Deck + Bluetooth controller. I recommend Steam Deck + USB receiver controller.

I see. If you're close enough to the computer to have a wired controller, you might as well just push the button anyway 🤷

USB receiver isn't wired. It's wireless, but the computer doesn't turn off USB in its sleep unlike Bluetooth. So it is able to be woken up like any wireless mouse or keyboard that isn't Bluetooth.
