Linux TV Options (lemmy.zip)

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?

Yes, clearly I and all the others in this thread are just lying about having linux TV boxes just to spite you. You being ignorant and wrong is obviously impossible.

Nope. Just you. Because you're not paying attention to what OP said. And now you're making a fool of yourself.
