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.

LibreELEC setup? (self.linux)

How much experience do you guys have with LibreElec? I've been playing with Kodi on and off for years and years, but am looking at this to replace a fleet of rokus at the house after the recent terms debacle. Anyone have recommendations for UI and usage tweaks to make it easier for the family to use?

I see that it has docker abilities which seems awesome.

Right now I have it installed on bare metal, but might consider running 3 LibreELEC VMs on the same machine with proxmox if that would even be possible. Has anyone tried that? How much horsepower would one need to run 3 1080p streams if it's possible.

If I'm barking up the wrong tree, I apologize! And would appreciate being pointed to the correct community.

I ran it very successfully on a RPi4 as a media center connect to the living room TV.

However, I don't really get your plan to virtualize them on one machine. What's the goal here?

Well this machine has 2 display port and another HDMI output, if I passed a connection to each VM, could I keep from needing 3 different media players? as everyone's HDMI cables run to the same closet.
