I don't think this is a good idea. You should be grateful that you have a job. There's no guarantee that you will be able to get another one after taking a year off. I say this as someone who has been unemployed for over seven months, and is struggling to pay bills, and buy Christmas presents.

I was at the same company for seven years. It was my first job after college. Don't make the same mistake I made. I am now unemployed, and nobody wants to hire me because my skills are out of date. I have been without a job for so long that I have decided to take out student loans, and enroll in a boot camp. I've had to sell my car to afford this. My life is absolutely miserable right now. Remember, the people you work with are not your friends, they just want to exploit you to make money.

That makes sense. I also find it hard to justify getting a mini PC when the Steam Deck exists. I'm sure that if this existed back in 2012 when I was in college, I would have just gotten one of these.

Back when I was in college, I attempted to make my own DIY mini PC. I got an Antec VESA case, and an all-in-one mini-ITX AMD motherboard. It originally had Windows 7 on it, which I later replaced with a lightweight Linux distro. I could play older games like Dragon Age and Mount & Blade pretty well on it. I had to get rid of it, though, when Windows 10 came out. I have thought about replacing my current tower PC with a mini PC again, but have been hesitant to do so, because of financial reasons. Maybe this is a good time to do this?
