  • I wanted to get rid of my chromecast, so I initially planned on reusing an old minipc I had, tried installing SteamOS on it but failed miserably.

    Then I went with Opensuse Aeon, instaled Kodi but I really don’t like the interface, so I am using the Jellyfin client, the SteamApp, and Firefox with my usual adblock setup. All via flatpaks.

    This setup autoupdates, so it is cool to have it up 24/7 and just turn on the tv. I can control it via my dualshock, but it is more usable with a 2.4Ghz remote control w/keyboard I got for less than 20€

    Sound goes via hdmi to the tv, and from there to my soundbar via ARC, so no sound directly to the pc.

    Next, I may setup the Jellyfin server on this machine, so I can leverage its hardware for transcoding (better specs that the nat)
