So I wanted to make a cyberdeck that could run games like Hollow Knight or indie games from Steam on this. The only issue is that the raspberry pi 5 is really really pricey, and I'm not very well versed on what kind of computer i need to get to run this smoothly. Ive had a few suggestions from other friends on things like orange pi or rock pi. Are there any cheaper alternatives for this? Thanks so much ;-;
