of course it wouldn't...

for that you need Windows 10/11

(because of Vulcan, DirectX12 etc,etc...)

$600 for a SFF PC with an Rx 6600-6700ish GPU and a 3700x without SMT

Netflix/Prime/Hulu DRM certified

comes with a $70 controller

If someone comes up with a way to quickly boot between modes the PS5 Slim might be the best HTPC deal of all time.

Well, it's a PC. An okay one, too. So it's not that surprising once the software is figured out.

I believe this boot media is an external nvme. That USB port has a max bandwidth of 1 GBps, nowhere close to the internal one (>4 GBps?).

If only we could swap out the internal original boot media for our own an be able to boot directly, this could become a viable SFF PC.
