Bro just reinvented mainframes.

They've been reinvented repeatedly. Citrix, terminal servers, thin clients, cloud desktops, web apps, remote app delivery......

Most people (not necessarily here) need a web browser and an office program. Most people are well suited to terminals or something like a Chromebook.

I need actual hardware for my job and hobbies, but even I have a mini PC set up like a gaming console so that if I want to play games on my bedroom TV I don't have to hook up my Steam Deck or gaming laptop. I just stream them.
