I am looking for a low power at idle (5-10 watts) server that could activate/deactivate gpu at will as a GPU takes a lot of extra watts at idle. The use case is that the server keeps running for NAS/home server stuff and can activate a gui environment at will (Wayland seat) for gaming. Bonus points for the software able to handle multiple people (seats) for small desktop use cases.
A small ARM SBC makes sense. Give me hardware encoding for AV1 and take my money.
