Not the guy to ask about that, sorry. I’ve seen it recommended elsewhere which is good enough for me. If you make a post about it I would definitely be interested. I’m not using it myself but I do keep an eye on the updates.

From what I can gather KonstaKang is the guy who makes these Raspberry Pi-specific versions.

Me too. The original devs abandoned it and it was picked back up by new devs in 2025

The way I see it, if someone eventually makes a Bazzite-styled distro that “just works” with a Plasma-Bigscreen UI on a Raspi it will become the clear and obvious choice for anyone. But we’re far from that still.

Not quite, and believe me, I’ve been looking.

Your best bet is probably LineageOS Android TV on a Raspi 5. From there you can install Kodi too. My issue here is that CEC does not work. Meaning you need a second remote.

I probably don’t recommend LibreELEC on a Raspi, because despite install being seamless, Kodi these days is essentially a real-debrid frontend (which might be what you’re looking for if you want integral torrent downloads!). The normal streaming apps for Kodi are not maintained even PlexJellyfin don’t work out of the box.

Something else I’m keeping an eye on is Plasma Bigscreen but that’s probably 2 years out minimum of being user friendly enough for someone not experienced.

Lastly if you have a Samsung TV, Tizentube will get you YouTube without ads (and other perks).

Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Yeah but until two months ago Spotify was 24kbps

I wonder why Spotify and not YouTube Music, Tidal or Apple Music all of which are higher quality.

A nas or home server with one of them is a great idea

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

It’s the “just works” distro for people who want to play games.

It’s been flawless for me with similar performance (slightly better in some areas) than Windows.

Very cool thanks for pointing them out, I will look into them.

Can you explain more? What are ublue scripts and what makes them so handy? I’m still new to this space.

To my knowledge Bazzite is basically SteamOS with more flexibility under the hood if you’re looking for it. By default it boots right into big picture mode. I imagine if you get an HDMI-CEC dongle it would work great as an HTPC once you get Big Picture set up with the streaming apps.

Kinoite is also great and usually what I recommend someone coming from Windows who wants a distro that “Just works”.

Bazzite is great. I wish I’d tried it sooner. It is great for a “steam machine” or just as a very stable regular desktop.

Wow he actually went with Mint and not some niche distro!
