I recently found a very overpowered for the price mini-PC and I plan to use it to replace my Android TV box that is really starting to show its age.

I think I want something bazzite-like and probably immutable but more media focused than gaming, with already working and set up waydroid and remote control support.

Thanks in advance

    Piggy backing on this post to ask those running a mini-PC on their TV: How tf did you get content to actually stream in full HD? Whenever I try to use the web browser to watch hockey games through YouTube TV, or some random show through Netflix, I’m limited to 720p. Is there a workaround for this?

    ETA I’m aware of an agent spoofer extension in Firefox, but it hasn’t solved this problem in my experience.

      Torrent stuff in HD or 4K and play those files instead of trying to stream from a company that won’t offer better than 720p :-)

        I figured this was the answer. It still makes me sad that I can’t legitimately stream content from the major streaming services in full HD on a regular laptop.

      I use flat Ubuntu on my projector with a palm keyboard with built-in thumb-ball. 1080p all day. It’s a normal PC after all.
