| It doesn't matter what kind of PC you use if you have Windows on it...Windows is a bad OS. Much worse than Linux...or even Mac OS. |

| @DesuMaiden we are using windows 10 iot ltsc so it has low to zero telemetry besides we need windows for photoshop and games that my brother plays |
| I was never a fan of those Mini-PCs since they are less resistant against heating compared to even plain normal notebooks If I want notebook level of hardware, I'll get a notebook Given the lower quality of building parts, I doubt it will last more than 5 years without changing anything |

| These days there is a lot of SBCs some are x86 and 64 bit so they can run a normal operating system. Because they often don't come in a case it allows you to just use whatever you want as long as the thermal properties are good so it doesn't overheat. I dont have personal experience with them though. |
