I recently setup an Unraid NAS on a $20 eBay 4th-gen intel lenovo mini PC. It has USB drives attached for storage.

It cant transcode (Couldn't get GPU acceleration working and the CPU is too weak) but it can direct play 4k video and music to all my devices since they all support the codecs natively

Also, quietly breezing past the bombshell that flatscreen games will play on the Frame through a "SteamOS on ARM" compatibility thingy is wild.

Like if we can actually get a smooth painless Windows-on-ARM gaming experience, small-size handhelds are going to become my endgame console

It also has extra community plugins for making things a bit more robust. But I think you're just seeking the vanilla simplicity?

I use the Tasks and Dataview plugins for extra things like multi-file task aggregation/filtering, and auto timestamping with completion dates.

I use Obsidian almost exclusively like this. It technically supports a whole bunch of extra nonsense but I just use it for notes and checklists.

Plus it saves everything as markdown instead of some useless proprietary database file.

Same. I've been meaning to 3D print my own but havent gotten around to it.

Better a clock than a paperweight, right?

I still think one of the coolest things about the design is that you can charge it just by running 5V across two of the corner rivets

This one is pretty by-the-books but still super well executed. It has a neat assist combo feature that spices combat up a bit. Incredible rendering style too
