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?

    I think I’d rather avoid android. It will just bite me in the ass at some point because Google?

    Heard about Bazzite but didn’t know there’s a Bazzite htpc version, that might be cool, thanks.

    Libreelec seems too Kodi focused and I’m running jellyfin server. Nobara I never heard of before
