okay just to start things of; I AM NOT AN ADVANCED USER, I WOULD SAY BOTTOM OF INTERMMEDIATE AT BEST!!!

im planning on ditching my chromecast for a little mini pc with plasma bigscreen, so i’m just wondering what distro would be good for that. I’ll also be hosting my jellyfin server, and maybe game too but idrk

    I literally just finished doing this over the weekend. I went with fedora since I find it more stable and easier to use than the other distros plasma bigscreen works on. There have been a few bugs when using a controller but other than that it works great! I highly recommend it.

      haven’t used fedora before, but it shouldn’t be that hard lowkey

      also isn’t bazzite based on fedora? is it better in any way?

        It’s not a bad set up at all. There are some additional codecs you will want to get if you have an Nvidia GPU, but there are plenty of guides on that.

        Bazzite is an atomic distro with a focus on gaming and based on fedora silverblue. I’m currently running it on my main gaming rig and it’s very nice. It is more complete out of the box than fedora but installing something like bigscreen will probably be more difficult. Although, I bet it’s possible. I haven’t tried to figure it out though.
