With the forced upgrade to windows 11 a lot of older mini PCs are getting flooded on to ebay. A little i3 or i5 7th gen with be massively faster then a pi. Plus sips power when idle and completes tasks quicker

Is it really that hot ? I.e. is it hot to touch where the cpu is or where the fan exhaust’s?

So my partner and I use laptops (small flat) so really sip power compared to the 65 watt of the monitor

What res is that monitor ? My 2k monitor is pretty hungry compared to my old 1080. Even just looking at the uk energy efficiency ratings for 4k tells shocks me !

I run snapraid and mergerfs, as the nas storage. Not much changes on my NAS and the stuff I really care about like my pictures and videos are on a small ZFS pool. Both are directly on proxmox, meaning I can just plug them in to another Linux machine and research if it all goes sideways. Its all shared from the host via SMB NFS or for jellyfin and immicher its a moint point for the container

I had my wired phones turning the volume all the way down on my phone… Got a plastic tiny tooth pick and picked large amount of pocket fluff out the headphone socket and its been fine since.
