I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?

Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws
I’m torn. On one hand, $60 is an incredible introductory price for the 4 GB model. On the other hand, it still falls behind the Orange Pi 5, which can be found for very reasonable prices similar to the 8 GB model, and is still even more powerful. There’s no doubt the community support will be outstanding as it always has been for the Raspberry Pi, but as somebody who’s seeking out the highest performance for x86/64 gaming (box86 and box64), I don’t know if I could justify getting a weaker SBC. I still might grab a couple of the 8 GB models to add to my proxmox cluster…
Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.
I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get
Edit: I do own both, I’ve had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don’t hate on the switch by any means
Now I’m wondering if it’ll surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales…
I’m lucky - I’m in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I’m getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!
Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.
If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!
