I was mostly being tongue in cheek, but I think it might be possible to launch steam in big picture mode, rendered by Gamescope, from the TUI. No DE required.

It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.
It says so on the installer page where you are asked to enter a root password.
FWIW: I'm not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don't have to set up sudo manually.
Don't install a GUI and you can just skip this step
Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)
You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.
FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.
No, I mean it was debian based. When Steam Deck released, they moved to being an immutable arch based distribution instead.
It also isn't currently made available for install outside of the Steam Deck yet.
SteamOS prior to steamdeck is an entirely different distribution FYI
You son of a bitch, I'm in.
I've become a big fan of mini PC's for home server use these days (with NAS systems for storage duties). Low power, low heat, low noise, and very affordable.
Beelink on Amazon makes a good selection of them. Always watch for sales. I have several of their machines and have been pleasantly surprised by all of them. The latest addition was one of their N95 systems with 8GB of memory. It hosts Jellyfin, Deluge, Wireguard (client and server), dns, forgejo, etc.
Except that's not the case according to the Flight Simulator 2024 FAQ
For any content you purchased outside of the simulator, the Community Folder will continue to work as it did in MSFS 2020. Any content in your MSFS 2020 Community Folder can simply be copied over to the new MSFS 2024 Community Folder, and the vast majority of that content should work in MSFS 2024. For any content you purchased in the Marketplace in MSFS 2020, that content will show up as owned in the Content Manager (in MSFS 2024 called “My Library”) at launch for you to use in MSFS 2024, and the vast majority of that content should work in MSFS 2024. This availability does not require developers to sign off on their content.
The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.
