It can't be load bearing if it's gone!

Yeah, it does need a lot of getting used to, especially if you want to change some settings.

With AndroidTV I have the same problem as with Windows: More and more of the "features" seem to be against my interests. That might be a view tainted by the SmartTVs, but it's the only experience I have with it.

Yeah, fair enough. Did you try kodi with a different hardware? Might be a bit easier on the clunkiness. But besides AndroidTV, which I hate because it doesn't do what I want, I have no alternative.

I haven't dabbed in it, what does the select keycode being higher than 255 do?

That's already plenty, thank you very much!

How does the interoperability work for your setup? Did you set up something special? What backup system do you use?

I ask because I plan to integrate some Apple stuff so my family can interact with it, like local-only backups, interacting with the TV (kodi) and music (mpd). I will not use software from apple on my side (well, beside the FOSS stuff from them, like bonjour or the printer stuff).

At first I dual booted with Windows and kept my games on the Windows drive. You can just tell steam the path to the games, after mounting the drive. Some games ran fine, some were a little more difficult or impossible to play, even when reported as working on protondb. The reason apparently was NTFS that wasn't playing nice. That was the moment I ditched Windows entirely.

Under the hood windows uses NTFS, while most Linux distros use EXT4. Linux can read NTFS, but Windows can't read EXT4 without some tweaks. So I thought my setup was good.

You can try this setup for yourself, it's a good intro IMO.

I use a raspberry pi with LibreElec/Kodi. It works with the HDMI-CEC, meaning I control it with the TV remote.

Jellyfin can be used as a source for movies and stuff with a plugin.

Yeah, was thinking about joining the room to see what is written. Not what was asked.

But your username and server will be seen and could potentially be noticed by someone you don't want.
