Looking for a simple mini device that I can plug into TV for streaming stuff via browser/jellyfin and similar, with hdmi and control via bluetooth keyboard/mouse. What do you guys recommend?

Would this be powerful enough for example? https://www.komplett.no/product/1323029/pc-tilbehoer/stasjonaer-pc/acer-revo-box-mini-pc

EDIT: lemmy is awesome, thanks to you I'll save myself a ton of work and/or costly mistakes

Random fun fact: back in college, my girlfriend's best friend (and my best friend's girlfriend) was named Elisa. This being the early 2000s, I used an old school flip phone that had T9 for text entry. But "Elisa" wasn't in the T9 dictionary, so I would hit 3-5-4-7 and it would prompt "Elis"—presumably expecting an "e" after—but once I hit that last 2, it would change to "flirc."

It's interesting that that's actually become a thing now.

I bought one of these a while back but could never get it working. Skill issue probably 😅 I'll try it out again!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
