Hey thread, long time no see.

I am thinking about getting a box to play my old steam games on again but I'm on a budget and in Japan, where the yen is becoming more and more worthless every day. The most recent thing in my collection, and my target game, is Dark Souls 3. Honestly I will not be buying any new AAA games as I am old and jaded, and I have a PS5 for that. My monitor is a pa248qv which is 1920x1200 and has VRR (is this still relevant?)

My main fantasy is to avoid Windows completely and run some flavor of linux, using proton to run the non native games. I know historically the advice of the thread is to avoid APUs, buuuuttttt is that still the case? Could I save money and meet my needs with a little AMD APU build? Small form factor is a big plus too.

I guess that's an option if I can plug it in to my monitor and use it like SFF computer.
Seems the price to beat then is ¥84,800.... and be in stock.
