    What’s a good solution for a remote control and “TV like” interface for browsing accessing things? I really just want a good YouTube and jellyfin interface with a normal remote.

        I tried for hours to get this working and could not. Steam big picture can actually be used as a launcher if you use boilr to import flatpaks. Might be worth it to try steamOS as an HTPC.

      A PC. You can buy an n100 mini PC. There’s different interfaces and os’s for htpc’s. You can buy a remote that works with PC’s and those handheld keyboard/trackpad combo’s work pretty well.

        The 2.4ghz connector for those trackpad/keyboard combos never worked more than like 10 feet away so the couch wasn’t an option (until I got one that used BT)

          I actually bought one of those corsair lapdog things when they were new (the keyboard+mousepad with built in USB hub) and it’s honestly fairly comfortable. Wired connection.
