Or just run it in a Windows VM and save yourself a ton of grief? Win10 LTSC works just fine.

The issue is with pushing updates. Eget is nice, but it doesn’t push updates.

I was going be a smart ass and make the “I use Arch joke”… But if you can use .debs on Arch, that’s kind of neat.

MATE gang rise up!

Do XP next!

I used to use Kodi, worked really well.

Asked Perplexity, got this back, seems right.

When choosing a Linux distribution for a Home Theater PC (HTPC), several options are tailored for media consumption:

1. LibreELEC: This is a lightweight, fast, and easy-to-use media center distro based on Kodi. It’s designed for dedicated media center PCs and supports various media formats. LibreELEC is simple to set up and runs smoothly on older hardware[5].

2. OSMC: Another Kodi-based distro, OSMC is known for its automatic media library updates and support for remote control devices. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, making it ideal for media playback[5].

3. OpenELEC: Similar to LibreELEC, OpenELEC is a “just enough operating system” designed for running Kodi. It is suitable for embedding into a media center setup[6].

4. Ubuntu MATE: Although not specifically a media center distro, Ubuntu MATE is user-friendly and can be configured with media center software like Kodi or Plex. It offers flexibility and stability for a media center environment[5].

5. Linux Mint: Known for its ease of use, Linux Mint can also be used as a media center with additional software installations. It provides a full desktop experience with the option to install Kodi[7].

Each of these options provides different levels of customization and ease of use, making them suitable for various HTPC needs.

I watch them both a ton, good stuff. Weissman can be a little snooty tho. K Keni Lopez-Alt is amazing 😍

Having issues hacking time?

I remember that thing… My grandpa had one. It was … Interesting.

People like that are why more folks don’t like Linux and tech in general.

Bro, gatekeeping computers is something children do.

“You much get invited to a lot of parties?” is generally a good response. “Everyone makes mistakes, you’re living proof”.

1000% this. Just use BTRFS and avoid all the pain…

I just wish they had a Debian version, nice tho!

I think you misspelled MATE…

Nothing could possibly go wrong open sourcing a missle rocket guidance system…
