    This is perfect time for those that want (and have the money) to build a small compact steam machine. Intel has a low profile 16 GB card.

      I’m debating one for my Minisforum MS-01 desktop. I currently have an eGPU with a used AMD 6700 XT (I think) that I got from a coworker a while ago. Mainly because eGPU over USB4 is weird (eGPU is weird in general on Linux).

        So I actually ordered a MS-02 desktop bare bones I’m slotting in with a 4060 LP I have laying around. You’re right, eGPU is weird on Linux all over. It works, just always an odd quirk with it.

          Yeah, I’ve been doing eGPU for probably 5 years in one form or another. It works, they’re just quirky. Mostly around hot plug/unplug. I learned this time using it with USB4 that the UEFI and my LUKS prompt don’t show up.
