Points for something I’ve never tried.

Edit: Think I’ll just blast Bazzite on it. The recent Gnome scales well and it has nice performance tweaks.
Cheers

    I use Q4OS as it is super light but Debian based. Install KDEConnect and I run a dumb large TV as my TV and control it from my phone. If younwa5ch YT, run Freetube.

    https://libreelec.tv/ If you like Kodi this is the business. I have had it working with remotes, the biggest drawback for me was streaming services not supporting 4k on the Odroid N2+ I was trying to use. Plex worked great through Kodi, and that was my biggest use case.

      I’m a Plex guy so that part is appealing but I admit I mostly watch youtube in this scenario

        Yeah, I’m not sure how well YouTube is going to run on Kodi, I’ve never actually tried it. If you have another Linux box around you could install Kodi and try it pretty quickly.

      Nix looks like a fun way to wild away 3 weeks, not entirely sure this is what I’m after for a living room TV box. :D

      I daily drive NixOS and use it in many other situations. However, I’m also a systems engineer and it’s the distro I use for managing all the environments.

      I’m sure it was a joke(ish), but definitely not for the light-hearted or fairweather penguins.
