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.

    I realize you don’t want a “big clunky box” but you will make a variety of compromises for a mini-PC.

    You can build a PC in a mini-ITX case (about the size of a shoe box) and get significantly better performance.

    Otherwise, I have to agree with everyone else here, the SteamDeck is where it’s at. It’s just a ridiculously good value.

    The new Lenovo Legion handheld looks promising also but it’s far too new to recommend.
