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.

Looking for a decent Linux Distro for a mini-PC to replace a shitty Android TV Box (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I recently found a very overpowered for the price mini-PC and I plan to use it to replace my Android TV box that is really starting to show its age.

I think I want something bazzite-like and probably immutable but more media focused than gaming, with already working and set up waydroid and remote control support.

Thanks in advance

It is not immutable, but use Linux Mint for my tv computer. It is similar enough to windows that my so has no promblem using it. I use it with a 2 in 1 keyboard/touchbad from logitech.
