Thanks for the reply.
I’m definitely keeping Arch on my PC, I was just wondering what is the best way to use it for both desktop and couch gaming. I do have an old steam link I could potentially use, but I don’t know how that would really work. (I think I’d need to keep my PC running 24/7 for a seamless experience), but otherwise I was thinking I’d probably use the compute stick or Pi as the HTPC and stream games from the PC, but again that sounds a bit clunky to me, although I could at least watch stuff without the main PC on. Thoughts?
My other takeaways from your reply are that:
-
It’s a good idea to separate out home assistant from everything else
-
Network stuff doesn’t have to be separate
I’ll also research using cloud DNS instead.
Yeah, 1080p is fine on a small laptop screen, or a small TV on the other side of the room, but it’s unusable for desktop applications. Even 1440 is noticeably low res. I disagree about phones, though. I think 1080p is overkill and 720p is fine.
