| +I downgraded to a mini-pc | |
| +========================= | |
| -I | |
| +I recently turned off my main pc, a homegrown setup I had been upgrading | |
| +over the years. It had quite a decent spec, AMD RX XT5700, Intel i7, | |
| +32Gb RAM, 3xSSDs and a NVM drives. I have mentioned in previous TXT | |
| +files I mainly use the command line apart from qutebrowser occasionally | |
| +so it was complete overkill. Not to mention the energy prices in north | |
| +Scotland being absurd, it was time to "downgrade". | |
| +I had a few options in mind, a good old Raspberry Pi, a 2nd hand | |
| +Thinkcentre or an off the shelf mini-pc. As you obviously gathered, | |
| +I went with the mini-pc, a beelink U59. The RPI are actually quite | |
| +costly now, hard to get. I also wanted an X86 architecture for using | |
| +Alpine Linux - my distro of choice these days. Apparently the | |
| +Thinkcentre can be quite loud too, so I ended up buying the U59 with the | |
| +500 GB SSD and 16 GB Ram for around £200 on Amazon. | |

| +I installed Alpine Linux with no issues at all. I have a bootstrap | |
| +script for Alpine, so using this I was up and running with the foot | |
| +terminal open on sway 15 minutes later. The U59 is completely quiet, and | |
| +the max I have seen the temp get so far was 59C while playing Loom via | |
| +ScummVM. I had to compile ScummVM from source which took around 20 | |
| +mintues. The power draw was sitting around 15 watts during this time. | |
| + | |
| +Really happy with it so far, will be interesting to see how long this | |
| +machine lasts for. | |
