Interesting. I declined my offer for the 2tb. That expense was just not justifiable for me. I hope these hobbyists enjoy their new machines.

    I bought the 0.5tb + controller bundle. I was also sad about the pricing. But o boy, I love this machine. It is tiny! Dead silence and still a nice upgrade compared to my old desktop.

    It får exceeds what I was hoping to use it for. The only thing I do not like is steam os desktop mode. My plan was to use it as a desktop pc more than a console, and I miss using gnome DE and having rolling releases.

    I tried gnome again for the past 5 years. It was clean and nice but I feel like it still doesn't handle software well. Mostly I mean the system tray. I don't like how it wants to force you to like have everything up at once by preventing minimization. I don't like the lack of configuration.

    Everything on kid/plasma works well and there are so many nice options. Sometimes I'm just like "what if it worked this way?" And sure enough there's settings for that.

    To each their own, though.
