As others are saying, OSMC might work. Most difficult part is making it so that the TV turns on when you turn on the computer since ARC isn’t a thing for most computers.

I ended up giving up on OSMC and bought an Apple TV since nothing else got the “wife approval” factor. It’s better than Google getting my data, has a Plex client, and let’s me stream my Steam library.

No need to worry, those security patches would be millennia ahead of any contemporaneous trojans.

Cheapest would probably be the Raspberry Pi/Orange Pi route.

I gave up trying to make an HTPC (using Kodi, ChimeraOS, etc). It wasn’t worth the hassle and ended up settling for an Apple TV.

I have an RX6800XT and I use KoboldCPP to run models I download off of Huggingface.

I’m not sure how many tokens per second it generates, probably about 10?

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?

Wow, I was unaware of this. Thanks!

I assume some will say they don’t want it to. I hope it does so more people are no longer giving money to giant social media companies, or being tracked by them.

Honestly, podcasts on YouTube are better if you have sponsorblock

It’s a good book. The concepts are amazing if you’re into sci fi.

There were a couple places where I struggled to keep going, but the book’s promise of more depth always kept me engaged enough to keep going.

Usually your engine uses fuel to turn your wheels.

When you engine brake, your wheels turn your engine.

I think it’s a reference to Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life

But now how will you see my post called “This is my final trump card” that I was going to post tomorrow? 😞

Weight of the World - Nier Automata

The Japanese version when you’re finishing the game is the most emotional I’ve gotten during a game
