The usual suspects
They’re a new company so we’ll still have to see if they’re as reliable as some older machines. Providing parts and usb c adapters helps with longevity I guess
Forbes isn’t great but their overall philosophy means it should last at least 10 years if you take care of it. I have an acer c720 with Debian that still kinda works
Remote play together and steams controller management are two separate things.
RPT creates a tunnel to make everyone appear in the same session.
For controllers, especially in Linux check that you have the correct settings enabled eg. Enable PlayStation/nintendo support vs the default Xbox emulation.
I’ve personally never had any issues with RPT and controller settings after checking the controller is setup properly in Steam.
NextDNS.io is free to start and works great for this
How is this any different than skeletons and using up ansible, salt or chef? Also hear a lot about Nix but don’t see the OS of NixOS

For anything not Steam, Lutris.
Lutris because it handles both and more.
I have mine setup on a Supermicro itx-based machine with an Intel n3710 and 8G of RAM. It has four Intel-based ports but you can easily get away with two.
I used to run a Zotac ci323 with dual Realtek nics. Works fine for 300M up/down.
You’ll want two ports, one for WAN one for LAN and most nics will support VLANs if you need more than that. Any VPN or encryption will increase your cpu requirements. If your needs are low a cheap dual-nic Nuc like device works great.
depending on your use case these are cheap and cheerful.

I’ve been tinkering with docked 1080p and it really struggles with AAA gaming. best case scenario all-low settings Cyberpunk or Elden ring is playable but doesn’t look pretty.
as another commenter mentioned, forte is definitely older games and emulation. I never played Skyrim when it came out but plays just about flawlessly. Emulation is absolutely incredible; PS3, PS2 and Gamecube is a great experience docked or otherwise.
Great targeted hardware as a console should be. Older games or using it as a Linux PC make it worth it.
I’ve had mine suddenly shut off a few times with Cyberpunk around launch. With new firmware and a probably unnecessary repaste this no longer happens. Give your deck room to breathe and you’ll be fine.
