What are the best Kodi skins to use if I like the default Estuary well enough: except for the fact that it doesn't let you create your own playlists?
Estuary only exposes the ability to create "Smart Playlists" (select a genre and it'll make a list of 10-100 films): which may be one of the most infantilizing design decisions of all time.
Otherwise one of the better media players out there.

**Suche nach einer Linux-Lösung für Streaming (Netflix, Prime & Co.) – weg von Fire TV!**
Ich möchte gerne von Fire TV & Co. weg und suche eine **stabile Linux-Lösung** (oder Bastellösung), um **Netflix, Amazon Prime Video** und andere Streaming-Dienste **vollwertig** zu nutzen – idealerweise mit:
✅ 4K/HDR-Unterstützung und Dolby
✅ Einfacher Bedienung (Couch-freundlich)
✅ Selbstgehostet oder auf gängiger Hardware (RPi, Intel NUC, etc.)
**Was nutzt ihr?**
- LibreELEC/Kodi mit Plugins?
- Ubuntu + Browser?
- Jellyfin/Plex mit Streaming-Integration?
- Oder etwas ganz anderes?

Repurposing an Athlon Gold 3150U laptop as a retro gaming #htpc and going to try #bazzite with the steam deck option. I also need to research some games that have the accessibility of modern casual games, but run on older consoles. Kingdom Hearts, some of the Yakuza games and Disney Dreamlight Valley have been favorites for the target audience. I skipped just about everything between SNES and Xbox. Never had Sony or Sega

KDE is developing Plasma Bigscreen, an open-source TV interface built on KDE Plasma and Wayland for smart TVs, HTPCs, and media centers. It supports remote control via CEC, game controllers, and smartphones.
Full details here: https://ostechnix.com/kde-developing-plasma-bigscreen-smart-tvs-htpcs/

Ooh, it looks like Plasma Bigscreen is aiming for (re-)release with the Plasma 6.7 update in June 2026.

- How many of you have your #steamdeck connected to your large screen TV?
- If so, what are you guys using for #peripherals?
- do you also occasionally switch to steam's desktop mode for internet shizz? What resolution tweaks have you used to make text more readable on a TV?
- this is probably also an #htpc question, and probably #FilthyCasual
Cc @gamingonlinux if willing, can u boost for viz?
Apologies in advance for the hashtag spam 😈

my ai threat model is meh i need reps if it affects me, the other is i can't wait until ai gets even cheaper - for smb sector i have said a bunch look for all the gear in DC to turnover every 2-3 years, this will create a flood of parts and much lower prices, smb compute goes 10x - maybe it will be 4-5 years - after that things change like industry dynamics #htpc

I’m getting extremely close to being able to use a Linux HTPC to replace my AppleTV. I just need a good remote that works with Steam Big Picture mode and I think I’d be happy enough with it. I tried the flirc Skip 1s with flirc usb and it’s so close. I can control my TV, soundbar, Jellyfin, and YouTube with it but I can’t really control Steam meaning I can’t switch apps. Not sure what to try next.

Okay, it is done! The "Living room" PC is now down in the basement. The only signs of it upstairs are the USB hub and an input on my AVR labeled "PC." Not many pictures to show this time since the conduit looks the same externally with before and adding new cables... But hey, that's Bazzite running from downstairs as if it's right there!
Eventually I need to organize the TV stand, but I'm trying to only tackle one project at a time...

Has anyone setup an #HTPC with #Bazzite to act as a living room replacement for something like an Apple TV. There is really only 4 streaming apps I use and I think they can be PWA. Jellyfin has to be a first class app on there as well as Stremio currently. Be interested to hear if anyone is running something similar. I don't have any intention of gaming on it but bootc feels right for an appliance type device.

I use #Windows11 on all of my #HTPC’s but it looks like Microsoft broke HDR a few months back.
Anybody have any idea how I could get this working again?
It’s driving me nuts. -
@omgubuntu This looks awesome! Sadly, I'm no programmer and cannot contribute but only spread the news.

I'm looking for suggestion for a new sofa keyboard/mouse combo. Previously I used Logitech DiNovo Edge (in photo) but it seems to be discontinued.
Any other good alternatives for a sofa keyboard with integrated mouse?

OK and this $19 eBay score is a Digital Sign Display. Well, actually it's just a tiny AMD PC, complete with 128GB SSD and WiFi. With a quad core Jaguar+ based APU (similar to base PS4). I'm turning this into a HTPC for the bedroom using Tiny10 by NTDEV.

anyone using a recent mac mini as a HTPC? I got a bunch of gift vouchers for a tech store that sells apple tech, and am in need of a new device to play streaming services and jellyfin. With the vouchers it would only cost me a few hundred dollars.
Plus the idea of later tinkering with asahi linux when it supports the M4 is tempting

Linux fucking rocks.
I was using my old gaming system from 2007(!) as a living room PC. It didn't even have UEFI yet.
It was time to upgrade, so I swapped the boot drive into a much newer AMD based mini PC from 2019.
It booted right up to the desktop, as if nothing ever happened. They are 12 years apart!
It said "No NVIDIA GPU found" during boot, but it still worked fine. All I had to do was uninstall the NVIDIA driver. Done.

Can anyone recomend a good #HTPC or case/board combo that can use some optical drive?
Most important is low power consumption (i.e. chinesium-quality device with N200 would be okay), but things like that don't come with space for optical drives anymore?
Don't really want to have a bunch of separate boxes (i.e. compute stick and external drive) around.
Alternatively something like a i3 #NUC? (but those never came with large drives?)
Had some asus thin-mini-itx case once… that was nice?

What we have here is my favorite #htpc loaded with a Pentium III, #gravisultrasound PnP, #soundblaster and #Yamaha DB50XG hardware MIDI daughterboard. It's a retro audio monster, and long #cubicplayer sessions are the norm! #sbc #retrocomputing #trackermusic #demoscene #msdos #freedos
