Do one thing and do it well…or compete with one of the largest computing firms in the world to develop a 💩version of commercial software. Captivating…

MPD and whatever terminal MPD client you like.

I wonder how well it supports Debian, etc.

We have a all-in-one keyboard and mouse. Labeled function keys to start streaming services with Chrome in kiosk mode. Obviously, mouse to navigate is in some ways more work than a remote, but actually much faster. Similarly, typing for a search is way faster with keyboard. Side benefit is that it’s larger size means it won’t get lost in the couch cushions.

I have a low power nuc that I use to watch TV. All streaming services + KODI or whatever. I don’t know why I would use some proprietary dongle. I prefer FOSS.

Eh? TV boxes? Just use a web brower. What is a TV box?

Cool. Though I like to use vifm with the tree command.
