  • The fire sticks I currently own are a few generations old. I have to unplug and replug two of them in to even use them. Initially I was hoping for a new $20-$40 device I wouldn’t have to spend several hours tinkering with to get it to play nicely. (Time is money after all)

    But after the assistance from the other lemmings I’ve decided to try and work with the fire sticks I currently have just for the experience.

    Once that fails I would purchase an ONN to replace my fire sticks and setup linux on a mini pc for my living room. Mini PC is already in place. Just need to learn more Linux. I might distro hop around.



  • Yeah I’m running a mini PC right now, but it’s hard to deal with for wall mounting and setting up family members with one. I love refurbished slim desktops. Both Dell and HP slims have great usability and the market is saturated with them.

    And YES. In about a year there will be pallets of mini PCs due to Windows 10 exodus. Business may or may not care to upgrade, but time will tell.
