honestly, i’m just gonna hook my TV up to a thinkcentre or some shit, my android TV is horrible to use. if they’re gonna make it difficult to use their product the way i want, i’m not gonna.

My dirt-cheap $20 walmart Android TV box now looks nothing like it did when I first booted it. Completely customized to how I want it to work.
I even have it set up so my Disney button makes my livingroom lights dim for movies.
AFAIK there is no netflix app on linux and browser playback is limited to 720p. And if you’re looking to avoid your TVs bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS I see no point in using microsoft’s bloated, ad-ridden spyware OS instead.

might as well use something that’s REALLY customizable. but i will definetely consider an ATV box.

i’m not using netflix. again, not usable the way i want to.
private jellyfin server FTW.
