People running RetroPie are unicorns of unicorns in terms of the people using computers. Hell even people gaming are unicorns in terms of overall computer usage.


I disagree. I can think of at least three use cases that frequently employ Intel CPUs, and that involve running a limited set of low-risk software:

* Gaming-only machines, like my RetroPie example.

* Media servers, like for Plex or Kodi.

* NAS servers, powered by software like UNRAID.


But those uses are still smaller than rounding errors in terms of overall usage.


It's big enough to create whole markets for commercial software, as my examples of Plex and UNRAID show.
