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.

Makes me wonder if this is a possible future. Just get a small nuc like computer and connect it to an egpu.
For sure. It's something I've considered for a while simply because I don't need that extra heat/noise created by the GPU when I'm only doing my day job.
My only problem with this is that the docks are like $300. I guess igpus are getting good enough that I’ll probably never need a dgpu again.
Still surprised how well the steamdeck can handle resident evil 4 remake.
I really don’t need better graphics than that. In fact, they don’t even need to be that good.
