I setup a micro PC with Ubuntu and plugged it into my TV for media streaming, and was just wondering if there was a way to optimize the experience for non KBM

    Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I’ve run it for years using only an IR remote.

      This.

      Using a CEC link will make things even more simple, but that might involve additional hardware. Those raspberry thingies have native CEC on hdmi. For x86 you might have to look at some extra hardware.

      And of course, Kodi is an example of a 10 foot interface.

      I always have strange lag problems when I try to use it, even on powerful hardware. I think the audio visualization stuff is just buggy because going in and out of fullscreen takes ages and often crashes or freezes.
