    I’d love a distro for raspi etc that made onroading to pirating really easy. like LibreElec for Raspberry Pi is great, but you have to manually verify the debrid and trakt in settings, i need something boomer-friendly.

      I use syncler on my android TV. you put in your real debrid and it’s basically like a normal streaming service…especially if you have the option to autoselect the best source.
