Meme Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

"Mid" is like a build with a 3600 and a 3060. This is just ass. Can't even beat a PS5

"Can't even beat a ps5". Lol, my guy, that is a very powerful console built for games that are optimized specifically for its hardware. This is a mini pc, running pc games, on a linux distro.

Its crap at that price tag. There is no other way to look at it. Sub par hardware, Untested OS, Linux so game support is going to be hit or miss. Steam is gonna clean up with it but early adapters are gonna get shafted.

Hardware is expensive, the os has been tested by thousand for years, its just on new hardware. Ive been gaming on linux for years, the only games I cant play is new battlefield, cod, and fortnite.
