Kent overstreet?
Of all people?
It seems like he didn’t get enough harrasment from linux maintainers and went for AI one. Poor developer…


Imagine if they put all that money into developing a decent product that might return some actual revenue.
Nah, let use all these PC components for something wasteful.
I ended up writing so much that I made an essay long reply.
Sorry for the inconvince & wait…
Yes, that makes it more comparable to MicroOS, which does the same with podman.
MicroOS is based on a more mainstream system but it’s still immutable with transactional updates.
What I’m trying to ask is if the project’s goal / development is being more MicroOS or more Proxmox Linux? & whether it tries be a replacement or a different workflow all together?
I see that there’s a Migration Manager in beta as an install option to switch from vmware ESXi, so I wonder if other OS-level hypervisors are in the roadmap.
I know this is supposed to be compared with Vmware ESXi &or Proxmox but exclusively made for linux containers, so…
How well can it compare with MicroOS & CoreOS which rely podman instead?
I’ve never seen a detailed comparison between podman & incus in term of resource usage nor performance, just that podman supports docker compose & it’s images.


???
No?
I said you can run way waydroid on a Wayland Desktop to natively run streaming apps on your RPI5. (Plex, Youtube, netflix or whatever service you’re on)
This has nothing to do with your TV remotes nor hdmi-cec.
(reads description again) oh…
No, IR input support is now integrated into the linux kernel [BPF] & can be manually done with LIRC,
Well I don’t have a RPI to test this nor use my TV remote to control media, just for volume;
Can’t say for sure if Rasbarian supports most remotes ether, but LineageOS TV Does (Scroll),
Sorry, I can’t help with that, however, a budget, 2.4GHz, wireless mouse was enough for me, maybe KDE Connect or Unified Remote (non-free) can help if you wanna use your phone instead.
CEC support is up to the (media) software &or OS you’re using, waydroid is a container-like “runtime” to boot android on linux without virtualization, it’s not a an OS that supports IR input or shutting your TV with your TV Remote, I don’t think most desktop enviroment does support it nor must, KDE Bigscreen might but it’s a DE tailored for such use…
So, if launching plex with your TV remote is a priority, then here’s Android(TV) & a Custom Recovery (Gapps & Root Flashing) for RPI5 so you can treat it as an android box.
(unoffical tho, seems like LineageOS team into the BananaPi instead)


I wasn’t going to reply, but when I thought about it, you can install wayland on top of linux.
The kind of benefit you’re getting out of this is better driver support (from the kernel) & less resource usage (lightweight distro + wayland on background = 2GB~ish ram usage).
Also it’d be easier to get Gapps running (if you need it) on waydroid rather than rooting lineageOS TV to do so.
I tried it once & it was more than enough for light gaming, IDK about plex but hardware acceleration is supported since there’s no VM tech utilized (nividia isn’t supported tho).
Most linux distros with wayland should be enough, but check Wayland install page just to be sure it’s well supported (by distro), I see void-linux & ether configured labwc or KDE plasma should fit your needs better.


I never tried it but, LibreELEC is focused for mediastreaming usage.
You just need to get confy with Kodi and it’s plugins.


So more ppl are re-purposing old, legacy win7 machines despite security risk…
Completely clueless about anything linux or floss in that matter wether even if there where lighter distros with better hardware support & enough apps for everyday office needs & more.
Like win7 can’t even run any UWP apps, photoshop or steam anymore.
It’s great livin’ in 2025
Well, that doesn’t sound civil or lawful at all and more like kindoms of the dark ages degree of “rules” where it doesn’t apply to a choosen few.
If Meta and other bigcorps that support the US goverment get the special “avoid-judgment” card and you face punishment then there’s no law, only bigotry.
That would encourage individuals and small groups to keep their activites a secret (go anonymous) and break the law whenever they can,
because the “king and his followers” don’t follow their own “rules”.
The US is not only getting dystopian, they’re commiting primitive mistakes.
