EDIT: A linux distro just big enough to run Kodi

It's pretty sweet homie! I have it tied into my server hosting Emby and Jellyfin, looks very similar to their respective apps. tied into most of the services (paramount+ for some dang Star Trek) and able to use my own pictures as screensavers and backgrounds. Tied into my home automation system for control from phone/remote!

and nobody building a profile of ads to try and swindle me at every turn

That sounds awesome! I started using Infuse but will be checking this out for my Jellyfin instance. For the Paramount+, does it allow you to skip the intro “ads” for other shows on the platform? I am annoyed by those and consider them ads.

We don't see anything like that, so I guess so!

A distro dedicated to running Kodi.
