I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec.. Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

It struggles with vc1 though cause it can't hardware decode it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I can't speak to that as I don't have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that's a proprietary Microsoft codec so that's probably why I didn't encode anything with it.

Kodi / Libreelec are in the same vein as Android TV. There extremely neutered operating systems that can basically only do that one thing, so if they failed at it, well...

You can really edit documents, run YouTube with a decent UI, possibly use sponsor block, can't do video game streaming.

Actually, I take it back, Kodi etc are more limited than Android TV on the Pi, since at least that supports Steam Link and Moonlight streaming.

So yeah, like Android, it can play the video. But it can do anything else like if I were to run any actual distro.

Oh yeah it's totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I'll "send to Kodi" from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn't a vc1 encode apparently).
