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.
