I have been using kodi but it just so limited and clunky. Android TV is better but that is a major challenge since Android TV is very tied to Google with not much existing outside of Google.
What I am looking for is a device that can work with mostly Jellyfin. I don’t use any streaming services. It would need to work flawlessly with a remote and I am looking for something that maintains itself mostly.
does it still require a pointless hardware upgrade? then no, they clearly fucking don’t.
Because they want to make money. The get a licensing money for big OEMs. It probably was the OEMs who were pushing Microsoft to make everyone upgrade. They want to continue selling computers at a high rate.
with the death of Moore’s law they will find it much harder to add enough value to hardware to make upgrading worth it.
I’m ready for the Linux switch but for many this kind of bullshit will strong arm them into buying new shit they don’t need.
It is kinda shocking how well really old junk runs under Linux vs Windows’s treatment of it.
