I’m looking for a sleek ui that’ll support firefox, jellyfin, and steam. I would prefer not to use kodi.

I found this project I might try https://github.com/dudewheresmycode/TenFootGnome

Any suggestions?

Can people get Bigscreen anymore?

Kodi is so close to being absolutely perfect

Bigscreen is a new project to my understanding, I would like it to be a thing cause it would fill a nice niche for me that I’m overblowing with Kodi. Kodi is really nice but it feels a little laggy for my system. Maybe I need to tune it for my system.

I think i use Artic: Zephyr - Reloaded on a N95 miniPC. It was bad on Kodi 20, on 21 it feels snappier, tho i feel theres still improvements to be made. The skin however made a huge difference. I dunno why they dont have nice sane defaults

My experience so far

Kodi (LibreELEC) was running rough on an old i5 4160 or something, when installed on an SD card. It also runs a little sluggish when installed on a Chromebook.

But I went back to that first PC with a real SSD and now kodi is running fantastic. On a fedora kinoite install

And paired with some commands for KDE Connect, and I’m pretty satisfied so far. It’s been about four days with it.

I have it on a miniPC. It shouldnt have IO or compute issues for what its doing. It feels like it could be a little faster? maybe im expecting too much as well. I also know its tuned for low resource devices, so maybe i could tune it for mine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
