    As others are saying, OSMC might work. Most difficult part is making it so that the TV turns on when you turn on the computer since ARC isn’t a thing for most computers.

    I ended up giving up on OSMC and bought an Apple TV since nothing else got the “wife approval” factor. It’s better than Google getting my data, has a Plex client, and let’s me stream my Steam library.




  • I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

    I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

    I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.
