+1 on lower tier Intel CPU mini PC. I have a slew of different boxes by Beelink, Intel, and Asus. The N95 box I bought from Beelink (basically an N100) has been one of the most impressive for being so low power, and yet handling the wealth of services I've been running on it (with a lot of overhead yet).

The two are not even remotely in the same category of CPU. This is a comparison of apples to orchards.
I was mostly being tongue in cheek, but I think it might be possible to launch steam in big picture mode, rendered by Gamescope, from the TUI. No DE required.
It has for sure been there for at least a decade now. I think most people autopilot through OS installs.
It says so on the installer page where you are asked to enter a root password.
FWIW: I'm not arguing for or against Debian as a beginner friendly distribution. Just mentioning that you don't have to set up sudo manually.
Don't install a GUI and you can just skip this step
Nonfree is usually something people are going to want to enable (Nvidia, Steam, Media codecs, etc)
You can install a nonfree image, but a person could argue that needing to know which image is needed is already more advanced than other distributions.
FYI: If you leave out root password on install, it instead sets your user up with sudo privileges.
No, I mean it was debian based. When Steam Deck released, they moved to being an immutable arch based distribution instead.
It also isn't currently made available for install outside of the Steam Deck yet.
SteamOS prior to steamdeck is an entirely different distribution FYI
You son of a bitch, I'm in.
Step 1: Get tested for sleep apnea. If you have it, snoring is the least of your worries. Don't skip this step.
Otherwise, sleep on your side, elevate your upper body (Amazon sells wedge pillows).
If you are certain you don't have apnea, you can also try a chin strap. Just be sure any chin strap you buy pulls your chin up, not back, as this will A: Obstruct breathing, and B: cause major jaw pain.
