So you’re going the full HTPC route? I did that a while back, but tbh it’s become much more difficult since the streamers started locking up their APIs and using hardware DRM. The reason I suggest the Shield is that you get native support for streamers and also Jellyfin/Kodi/whatever in the same box. You can’t do that on Linux, sadly

I know you said it must be Linux, but you could replace your Apple TV with an Nvidia Shield
I’m in favor of renaming but could they not have included a vowel or two

4·7 months agoWhat’s wrong with Cinnamon? I use it because we share a computer and it was the closest thing to Windows look-wise for non-linuxy family members. Interested to hear what advantages plasma has though!
As I understand it, Linux allocates a chunk of RAM when idle that is deallocated as needed by other processes
