With the recent GN video I’d been wondering about turning an old mini PC from eBay into a little Linux TV box for streaming. I’d need access to Android apps (I guess through Waydroid).
After a brief look, it seems that the two options are some form of LibreElec system running Kodi or Arch running Plasma Big Screen. Any thoughts / advice? And if I went for Big Screen, does anyone know of any distros that ship with it or will I have to spin it up myself on Arch?
Obviously not the most secure method in the world, but would it be worth putting that password in a text file so you can just copy it with a mouse click instead of grappling with the virtual keyboard? Or a one-line script that just sends the string to your clipboard?
ETA: Hopefully that password is unique to that app account to minimize the threat of compromise.
