DIY android TV (lemmy.world)

I would like to make my own android TV setup. What's the best way to do this? I'd like to have it as FOSS as possible.

Is it possible to do this on an x86 mini pc? That would be ideal, but I could also get an arm mini pc. I'd rather the setup not be specific to a device, like raspberry pi.

The problem is app support for x86. Many just are released for arm and arm64.

At least back when I tried it.

Also, power management on x86 sucks hard compared to arm, so expect much higher power usage compared to an Android stick.

It's a fun project tough....
