Brad Linder<p>This tiny gaming PC is made from a MeLE Quieter 4C pocket-sized fanless PC, a 5 inch, 854 x 480px IPS LCD display, and a 6-key keyboard. Not all games work, but some are surprisingly playable. But overall this is an unlikely use case. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vukdutbgj2Y" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=Vukdutbgj2Y</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MiniPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniPC</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MeLEQuieter4C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MeLEQuieter4C</span></a></p>

Brad Linder<p>Bento is a DIY portable PC that stuffs the guts of a Steam Deck into one compartment of a box, leaving room for USB hubs, chargers, and other peripherals in another. A keyboard becomes the lid, and for a display you can plug in a monitor or AR glasses. <a href="https://github.com/lunchbox-computer/bento" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/lunchbox-computer/b</span><span class="invisible">ento</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Bento" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bento</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SteamDeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SteamDeck</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MiniPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MiniPC</span></a></p>

This morning I installed Alpine Linux (one of my favourite Linux distributions) on my little N150 (which I got for 124 euros), replacing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I hooked it up to the new monitor (4K, although the N150 only handles 60 Hz) and worked on it all day.
It took me ten minutes to install Alpine Linux, KDE Plasma, and all the apps I needed.
Everything ran beautifully, without a single issue. A 124-euro MiniPC. Suspension to ram worked out of the box, hibernation just required to add "resume=swap device" to the grub configuration.

My only regret: FreeBSD doesn’t run on it yet - but I’m fairly confident things will improve soon, given the recent progress.
Most of us don't need a multi thousands euro devices to work comfortably.
