Intel is quitting on its adorable, powerful, and upgradable mini NUC computers (www.theverge.com)

Damn, this is a sad day for the homelab.

The article says Intel is working with partners to "continue NUC innovation and growth", so we will see what that manifests as.

You really don't have to fiddle with the deck to anywhere near the degree people think you do. The vast majority of games either "just work" or involve switching your proton version (one menu). Beyond that, it is just adjusting game settings until it runs well... which is needed for "modest/patient gaming" anyway. And the windows based devices (including a steam deck running windows?) get rid of the proton aspect.

But yeah. It very much sounds like you want a "real" computer. So either save your fingers and sanity and go for a mid tower or have fun cable managing an htpc/mini-itx build until you have some semblance of airflow.

I meant fiddle to get it to work as a desktop.

That is even less fiddling. Too lazy to go plug it into my hub so going to use the device buttons, but this works with m+kb if you have one plugged in

  1. Unlock the deck
  2. Hit the steam button (this is probably the windows/apple key but, again, lazy)
  3. Click power
  4. Click "switch to desktop"

And congrats. You are in a KDE Plasma (best desktop) environment that behaves perfectly normally.

Not sure of a good way to change the default after a reboot (google it), but that is the extent of faffing about.
