an outlier, but not a unicorn. Dedicated machines running RetroPie for gaming is very much a thing. Probably most people doing this use a RPi (so not Intel), there's a lot of us buying old OptiPlexes and stuff.
- lkschubert8 7y agoPeople running RetroPie are unicorns of unicorns in terms of the people using computers. Hell even people gaming are unicorns in terms of overall computer usage.
- CWuestefeld 7y agoI disagree. I can think of at least three use cases that frequently employ Intel CPUs, and that involve running a limited set of low-risk software: * Gaming-only machines, like my RetroPie example. * Media servers, like for Plex or Kodi. * NAS servers, powered by software like UNRAID.
- lkschubert8 7y agoBut those uses are still smaller than rounding errors in terms of overall usage.
- CWuestefeld 7y agoIt's big enough to create whole markets for commercial software, as my examples of Plex and UNRAID show.
