20 days agoI looked at smaller things like the Pi and in the end decided I had more flexibility by just having a little PC and bunging Linux on it.
I just got a new smart TV, but it’s never going on the internet, lol

I got a very cheap second hand HP G4 mini PC with a Bluetooth remote control.
It sits under my TV, and I use it for all my downloading needs (away from any computer that gets used for email or banking, etc), playing videos, and emulated games with an old Xbox controller.
Works faster than anything built into the TV, and the remote is better because it has a proper little keyboard on it :-)
TBH the experience is so positive I don’t understand why anyone would want to use the smart features of a modern TV when they could be doing this instead.
Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too
