MODERATORS
I own a bunch of them, generations five through ten, and have always had a love/hate relationship with them. None has ever died on me. My main workstation at home, as well as two "homelab" servers are NUCs. They Just Work under both Ubuntu and Proxmox.
The love is for them just working. The hate is for Intel :-)
What they got wrong:
That's not a lot to go wrong for such a big endeavour, which is why I will keep hating Intel and sorely missing the upgrade opportunity. Just hoping Dell will step into the void.
What do you recommend for desktops that aren't the big ass tower?
I think user asked for a small factor PC, just like intel nuc. IMO intel nuc is a perfect PC for a work desktop. They can even mount on the back of the monitor - excellent feature. Not sure if any other brand has such feature.
Well I'd like better cooling than a laptop, which should make it last longer. But a full size tower just doesn't seem necessary anymore.
Say for modest/patient gaming.
Well personally for me not a handheld because I still want a computer for office and things like that (and not cheap one because the more RAM the better). I've seen people fiddle with their steam deck but I don't want to bother with that.
I meant fiddle to get it to work as a desktop.
So mini itx then?
Look at minisforum and beelink.
I got one for my mother when she needed a new PC and it died within a month. Not intel's fault though, chip on the SSD died, first time I've seen an m.2 SSD die like that. Replacement going strong.
