>With the reintroduction of the Steam Machine, DIY enthusiasts have been having fun making their own versions of Valve's console, often using standard PC components and Bazzite; a Fedora-based distro that resembles Valve's own SteamOS. However, this latest homebrewed Steam Machine creation is quite unique. Handheld/SFF enthusiast YouTube Channel ETA Prime showed off a DIY Steam machine setup using a mining blade that uses a B-grade PS5 SoC. The hardware being used for this setup is an ASRock BC-250 mining blade that takes advantage of a defective PS5 SoC with disabled bits. Specs consist of six Zen 2 cores with 12 threads, 24 RDNA 2 CUs, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Compared to the base PS5, which has eight Zen 2 cores and 36 CUs, the neutered counterpart in ASRock's mining board has 25% fewer cores and 33% fewer GPU cores.

I have been using proxmox for a few years now. It serves the need. It simplifies some things so I don't have to manage a system right down to the bones to run my VM's. There are probably "better" ways to do if you you are trying to get all of the power and customization out of it you can but I need something that makes it easy for me to tinker, prototype, build and kill, etc.. I need it local, I need it Cheap/OSS. Proxmox fits enough for me with the various things I can use to talk to it including my own custom stuff.

It is not for everyone but for my cases it works well.
