But for the same money you can buy a real mini PC and not have to emulate them...

    I don't think I'd call FEX or proton emulation, but yeah

    I think Fex is. They even describe it that way themselves.

    Proton probably isn't. It's WINE with extra steps, isn't it?

    I mean there are definitely different kinds of emulation, I don't usually consider mapping library calls and dynamic/static recompilation to be emulation in the same way I think of like a ps2 emulator, but it's not inaccurate to say. I just wouldn't call them emulation personally.
