Are dedicated media-centered OSs (fast boot, remote control) available?
Yes, I'm using libreelec, I and friends control the display from our phones using the Kore app. Makes searching and typing easy, works great on my Pi. Fun game, which of you will select a movie first on your phones lol.
Note: pi3B can do 1080p but it struggles a little if the codec is anything other than h264, because Kodi decided to stop supporting closed source drivers. If you're playing anything above 1080 and anything other than h264, go for a pi 4 or better.
