I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.
To run as “smart TV”, mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.
Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?
It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.
To replace my current “attach the steamdeck to TV when needed” setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?
Flex luncher is also the best I found so far. Only used it with openbox, so I was lacking the kdeconnect part, which sounds nice. I tried plasma-bigscreen, but that really didn’t agree with me. I’m wondering why there is so little choice in this segment, as it feels like htpcs are a thing much longer than self hosting
