    Everyone wants to access Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc through their TV interface and I just don’t get it. The best experience is when you hook up a PC to your TV… not some TV-centric Android OS or Roku’s thing.

    Install Kubuntu on some old PC with a GPU that can handle 4K @60Hz and you’re good to go. KDE and Firefox let you crank up the zoom so everything’s easy to read and it even has HDR support (though I prefer going without it… Old person eyes).

    It’s such a vastly superior experience. Not only do you get the usual stuff, you can use a real keyboard to type into that search bar. You can also access all those pirate streaming sites and do normal PC stuff like play games.
