    I have only ever built my own PCs. My i9, 4020 is sitting in my detached garage right now. And because I’m too lazy to brave the elements to walk out there in the evenings, I game far less than I used to. So I’m thinking about grabbing a steambox to hook up to the basement TV, because it’ll be simple. I will plug it in and it will (ostensibly) just work. No farting around.

      Exactly. I turned my gaming rig into a hypervisor, and if I wasn’t dead set on getting Sunshine or Wolf running in Proxmox, I’d be eyeing the Steam Machine.

          A hypervisor is an OS that exists to run virtual machines. VMWare’s ESXi and Microsoft’s Hyper-V are the more well known ones.

          Sunshine is an application that lets you stream games from your computer to Moonlight, kind of like SteamLink.

          Wolf is Sunshine, but in a docker container that lets you create multiple profiles that run independently of each other (for example multiple Steam accounts streaming games from one computer simultaneously).
