Ah, nice.

Ohhhhhh, that looks like a better option. Interesting an rf remote control? Hmmmmm I wonder if that'll work with my sofabaton universal remote.

We should just agree that this whole massive border situation really doesn't work.

Let's create the North American Union. We'll call it CUM (Canada, US, Mexico). We'll be a powerhouse. Free trade, free travel, no big deal.

Hah, I thought it was funny when he skips the shader compilation and then complains when the game is studdering as it compiles shaders on the fly. Even his livestream chat was pointing that out to him and he was ignoring it.

Oh yea, it's the classic linux ethos where linux lets you shoot yourself in the foot. In fact in this instance it's even the highlighted option. You can tell he didn't even read the popup, he just auto clicked the button with muscle memory. This one is kinda on Valve though, they should make that option less appealing in my opinion. or even better have an option that will auto-precompile the shaders as part of the download process. So when the user sees the big green play button it starts playing the game.

I've been looking into these PCs as a replacement roku box since responding to the thread. I have a shield, and its fine, but I don't think it's worth the price. It's glitchy and the 3rd party launcher sometimes flips out. It also keeps wanting me to up the refresh rate, but whenever I do, it breaks. My TV doesn't like it despite it being supported.

Hmmmm good to know. I'm sure the N100 models could handle it fine. Still tempting to pick up one of the cheap ones to play with. Kind of like a raspberry pi.

Interesting, I assume lmde would be comparable to a say fedora based plasma bigscreen install resource wise. It's not like you were using a super lightweight distro. I'm actually surprised the plasma bigscreen devs haven't made a super light weight install guide based off alpine or a pared down debian or arch for lowend hardware like OP is asking about.

This is why he always goes out at night. No tan lines!

I found this one on amazon

it advertises linux compatibility. So, I'd agree with you, installing shouldn't be a problem. I've heard about a project called Plasma Bigscreen, might be exactly what you're looking for. I've also heard flir remotes work pretty will with linux tv boxes. Those plug pcs have usb slots, you might want to figure out if you need an extension cable so the ir can reach the dongle.

Interesting, did you have windows on it, or did you throw a real OS on it? If so, what distro/DE?

To also answer the transcoding issue, Jellyfin should be able to handle it. I have had issues where the client thinks it can play a media stream so the server serves it, but the client fails to play it. I usually either download a different file or manually transcode it to a different filetype that I know the client can play. I wouldn't think a celeron processor would have issues playing media. Those issues were on like firetv or roku embedded system boxes, not full pcs.

Yea, with a full pc setup and OS I don't think you'll have a problem with watching media. Even if hardware isn't available for your cpu (unlikely) software will be. In the jellyfin client you can change your player to vlc if you have any issues playing video.

Last I checked 'Western Europe' wasn't a continent.

Auatrailia and Antarctica are the only ones someone can fairly freely travel around.

With fewer people smoking, the price of cigs sure didn't drop.

Only if you print it out on a 3d printer tho.

I want to believe that progress is inevitable. The living conditions for the working class are better now than they were 100 years ago. Hopefully, by the time another 100 years have passed they will have drastically improved some more.

Unfortunately, the reasons they have improved in the last 100 years are due to constant fighting against the lazy non-working class. Not some evolved sense of society.

That was before. Now he raised himself from the dead. He's arguably a lich now.

Maybe that's why people can't find the "Holy Grail". It's been hidden well because it's his phylactary.

I mean, how many continents can scientists freely move across?
