With the recent GN video I'd been wondering about turning an old mini PC from eBay into a little Linux TV box for streaming. I'd need access to Android apps (I guess through Waydroid).

After a brief look, it seems that the two options are some form of LibreElec system running Kodi or Arch running Plasma Big Screen. Any thoughts / advice? And if I went for Big Screen, does anyone know of any distros that ship with it or will I have to spin it up myself on Arch?

Oh shit, I didn't know this was a thing. I've just been running Plasma on a used mini PC, but Bigscreen seems like it could make for a more comfortable experience. Neat!

EDIT: Aaaand it's not available in Debian 13. Well, that's unfortunate.
