I wrote a follow-up to my Thelio Mira quick look, this time focused on gaming with Steam.

Short version: the Mira is a monster. Mine has a Ryzen 9 9950X, 96GB RAM, and an RTX 5070 Ti, and it has been excellent as a Linux gaming box. Performance is strong, but the thing I appreciate most is that it does not turn into a jet engine under load.

Steam + Proton has been mostly boring in the best possible way. The only real warnings are the usual anti-cheat limitations and one COSMIC fullscreen/window placement issue I fixed with Super+F11.

Hey folks, I recently got a Thelio Mira and had some first impressions. I apologize in advanced for my crappy photography skills in terms of getting an image of the machine. Let me know what you all think - especially those of you who also have one.
