With the recent GN video I’d been wondering about turning an old mini PC from eBay into a little Linux TV box for streaming. I’d need access to Android apps (I guess through Waydroid).
After a brief look, it seems that the two options are some form of LibreElec system running Kodi or Arch running Plasma Big Screen. Any thoughts / advice? And if I went for Big Screen, does anyone know of any distros that ship with it or will I have to spin it up myself on Arch?
Same. I bought the Flirc USB + Skip 1s remote and they work okay… Their configuration apps are rough around the edges. The biggest hurdle I’ve had, though, is apps not supporting remote/keyboard input very well.
