+Simple way to stream games from a PC to a TV elsewhere on the network. Originally Valve sold a dedicated Steam Link unit, but it's been discontinued in favour of [[Raspberry Pi]], [[Android]], Samsung TVs, and [[flatpack]]-based [[Linux]] versions.Apparantly you can now even use it over the Internet.
+  * Valve's box has half a gig of RAM, 100 Mbit/s ethernet, and 5Ghz wireless.
+  * [[The Raspberry Pi]] 3B and 3B+ are the listed minimum required. They have more RAM, but due to their ethernet sharing the same bus as USB you're limited to speeds more like ~35Mbit/s. The wireless on the 3 Pi's is also only 2.4Ghz, and places I've looked said it's best avoided in this case.
+  * The Pi 4 has23-8 GBs of RAM, gigabit ethernet, and 5Ghz wireless.
+So thr Pi 4's probably the best option unless you find a Steam Link real cheap. The extra RAM and stuff probably doesn't matter, but you can also put [[Kodi]] and stuff on there, and will have better support from Valve going forward?
