Apple’s TVOS has zero ads and is very simple, but it’s also Apple.

My other choice would be a good Android TV box on an NVIDIA Shield or something since you can use third party youtube launchers and third party apps. I haven’t personally used it though so YMMV.

You may be able to run a wire out to an outdoor thermometer so your thermostat can just read the temperature outside.

Scrolled down to see if some had mentioned this. I think the 2018 version of Photoshop worked the best iirc. Also Wayland may have issues with Drag and Drop.

I would agree a used Pixel with Graphene OS would be the simplest solution.

I think its moreso how these cameras don’t just use OCR based plate recognition, but build a profile on your car, you, and your habits. Which, as far as I’m aware, is the first time this has been automated and been so easily spread among others.

Also, I don’t think its a bad thing to get more people talking about this. The more people are aware, the better; as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah, I only use Debian to host Docker images. My main desktop is Pop OS, but I’ve been pondering switching to Fedora or something similar.

I just bought one to use as a Magic Mirror dashboard. I can’t think of any other real use for them other than as dashboards.

I like the Volumio idea though. You can set up a Music Assistant container and get a whole home audio setup without having to run a bunch of speaker wire. At my old place I had an Apple TV airplay movie audio into the kitchen so you wouldn’t miss any dialogue while you ran into the kitchen.

Edit: Really specific hypothetical. If they’re powerful enough to run Kodi, and you have a travel homelab with Jellyfin/Plex, I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔

You could try Withings. I believe they’re based out of France.

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?
