My main concern is replacing the remote, because bluetooth on linux is quite awful.

Im guessing run kodi is the other solution? I want the SO to be able to use it as easily as the smart tv, which is of course riddled with ads and downloading random shit on my network that I hate (20 gigs to Disney + in a month. I dont have any subs. Wtf is it downloading? I blocked it now ofc)

For reference, trying to axe the smart tv and use my atari vcs with mint on it to fulfill those needs. It should have the power and I want to keep the sleek look and not have an actual pc in the room.

My setup is a pi4 with OSMC that is just Kodi all setup, plugged into hdmi with CEC to allow remote pass through.

That pi has an nfs mount to my jellyfin server and the movies and TV shows indexed off the NFS drive.

It's setup is so simple even our now 6 year old can put a movie on
