Is Nvidia Shield any good? (self.nvidia)

We're considering shutting down our media PC for good, as it's aged, noisy and draws a lot of power. We've been googling around and it seems like Nvidia Shield would be a good substitute. However, we mainly seem to get the positive ads or positive reviews about it when we search around, and I would like to get some more "rounded" comments about it.

How does it perform with VPN? Can you stream games from other computers? Does it handle media streaming services well without lag? Is it a time/money sink?

I'd go with something like Plex on something like a mini pc from Minisforum personally.
I get that Nvidia is popular, but I wouldn't touch their proprietary hardware with a 40 meter stick.

Obligatory "Nvidia, fuck you."

Oooh. Hadn't heard of Minisforum before, despite all our googling around. Checking it out now, thanks for the tip!
