+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.
-── SOURCES
+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.
