my old laptop😅 and a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad. If it is not too noisy and performs well enough, I might make that a dedicated tv device (but then I will have to buy a new laptop lol, I’ve been drooling on framework for a while).

Alternatively one of the n150 options, like you say. In which case I can update this post

Great tip, thanks!

Cool, using this setup now.

Thinking of ways to make it more friendly for my SO and guests coming to visit or babysit etc, who are not used to linux (gnome). Any tips there?

Top of mind is auto open browser on startup with fixed tabs for relevant streaming services. But could also be a simple wrapper of some kind, with UI similar to kodi, plex, jellyfin etc - but for accessing content on web.

Thx for the tip!

Thanks for the tip! I actually have an old intel celeron running as a server in the basement, so the bare minimum for this is playing media from the network. But, being able to play simple games could also be fun, so have to think about that one for a bit!

Thx for the tip!

Never heard of the brand/model, thanks! Will definately consider the latter

Thx, will try with an old dell xps13 in the meantime!

What on earth? never seen something like this on lemmy before

If we don’t study the mistakes of the future, we’re bound to repeat them for the first time

Now this is an interesting idea! We have more computing power and bandwith at our homes than ever before, and use only a fraction of it.

I would happily support Wikipedia, openmaps and other projects by seeding their data.

In could even be more fun and motivating to do, since you could see how you are making a difference in real time, as opposed to donations.

Cool! Out of curiosity, what was the trigger and/or motivation to make the switch?
