      Bigscreen is a new project to my understanding, I would like it to be a thing cause it would fill a nice niche for me that I’m overblowing with Kodi. Kodi is really nice but it feels a little laggy for my system. Maybe I need to tune it for my system.

          I think i use Artic: Zephyr - Reloaded on a N95 miniPC. It was bad on Kodi 20, on 21 it feels snappier, tho i feel theres still improvements to be made. The skin however made a huge difference. I dunno why they dont have nice sane defaults

            I use the same one! It’s really great. I spent an hour going though the options untill I was satisfied.

        My experience so far

        Kodi (LibreELEC) was running rough on an old i5 4160 or something, when installed on an SD card. It also runs a little sluggish when installed on a Chromebook.

        But I went back to that first PC with a real SSD and now kodi is running fantastic. On a fedora kinoite install

        And paired with some commands for KDE Connect, and I’m pretty satisfied so far. It’s been about four days with it.

          I have it on a miniPC. It shouldnt have IO or compute issues for what its doing. It feels like it could be a little faster? maybe im expecting too much as well. I also know its tuned for low resource devices, so maybe i could tune it for mine
