Is Windows 11 really that bad for running Plex with the arr suite and Docker?

Windows will work perfectly fine on the Beelink. In fact, I ran Win11 on my Dad's Beelink S12 Pro for a couple of years. I also ran PMS on Windows for awhile as well. The problem is (for me) the random updates that FORCE reboots and, since I refuse to create a Microsoft account, the "create your Mic

MiniPC instead of gaming laptop for 10-year-old

Curious to know the laptop that's in I'll repair to know what the kids are coming from. AMD/Radeon have come a l-o-n-g way with integrated graphics since the beginning of 2022. A literal and figurative "game changer". Additionally Valve has done a great job supporting the Linux distro community in t

How is the fan noise with gmktec and beelink mini PCs?

Beelink s12 pro owner reporting: when in full work force, it is quite loud. So loud that I can hear it from one corner of my apartment to the most distant one. When usage is 50% or less, it is ultimately silent and you couldn't hear it without putting your ear near it. I run it as a HTPC and it also

Beelink sudden boot loop after power loss

We're sorry you're dealing with this boot loop — it's a known behavior on the Mini S12 Pro after a total power loss, and based on your description, the root cause is straightforward. What's happening: The “Boot Option Restored” screen is the AMI BIOS telling you it lost the saved boot entry from NVR

Feedback for proposed Proxmox infrastructure

Beelink Mini S12, are these the N95/100/150 versions? if so they are the wrong MiniPCs for this.

Mini S12 pro under Ubuntu hangs on reboot

Helped a couple of others with a similar issue, finding that the reinstallation of Windows presented asimilar experience. In these instances, the MINI S12/S13 had a defect, returned or exchanged. From the "Think Critically. G👀gle Competently" perspective, if this was a Beelink MINI/Ubuntu issue, the

Weird discoloration inside of S12 pro, should I worry?

Every S12 has the same substance on the same place. It is just for holding the connectors in place. Looks atrocious but Beelink likes to do that on some models. https://www.reddit.com/r/BeelinkOfficial/comments/1lebt5k/beelink_mini_s12_pro_wifi_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BeelinkOfficial/comments/1j

Beelink S12 Pro Mini PC - Known HDMI Issue?

Late to the party, and not sure if this is the exact same issue as you, but I'm also getting annoying issues with no signal. Also have the S12 Pro, and often, but not always, when I turn it on, I simply get no signal. Happens with two different monitors, and two different hdmi cables. But I've found

Goodbye Beelink S12

Does a new affordable MiniPC with non-obsolete hardware no longer exist?

Ram has more than tripled in costs over the past 2 years.. some I purchased 2 years ago have so gone from $180 to $900 bucks. It’s insane. Storage has also risen sharply. So NOT expect this to change or prices to drop back down. That’s NOT going to happen. AI is here to stay and the rich and corpora
