Okay so my situation is this: I bought a little mini-PC hoping to use it as a Streaming PC--it doesn't really work under Windows 11 since it cannot do VTuber stuff and encode video at the same time, so I'm turning it into a 4 TB Linux system for NAS/Plex server, but also I want to try and see if I can tinker with everything and eke out enough performance from it if I'm not running bulky-ass Windows 11 to make it work.
I don't expect this to work, but I'm going to give it a try.
