It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not weakness; that is life.

  • I bought a N5100 from AliExpress and I use it to run my -arr apps and Plex, and so far it has behaved really good. It’s fanless in an all-metal case and it gets a bit hot, but nothing you wouldn’t put your hand over. Weirdly, before I installed Debian in it, the BIOS and UEFI console made the CPU so hot I was worried it would not work without a fan, but after the OS took over, it’s working without any issue. I installed 16gb of ram in it and two SSDs, and the power consumption is so low I’m really amazed.

    Edit: I might add, I bought it barebones, so I missed the W11 license, but I was never planning to use it anyway.
