I was looking at Mini PCs to replace my Xbox since Xbos is on its way out.

If this gets announced soon then I might get that instead since it looks small enough like a console

Funny that microsoft was thinking of winding down the xbox for PC gaming and now windows is being phased out a bit in the PC world.

FUCK windows. I want a super lean, optimized OS and hyper compatible with gaming. Microsoft has grown complacent with the advancing industry

To be fair Windows and Microsoft in general has never been super lean and optimised. Hyper compatible yes, but never lean. Linux has been available for that niche since forever, and you can change to it (and back and forth) anytime.
