I’ve used a PC with Kodi on it for my main tv for over a decade now, think I used it under it’s previous name even. I’ve had few complaints, occasionally there’s a video that won’t play but works in VLC but that’s pretty rare. Sometimes it doesn’t pick up new videos properly but that’s just expected for some file names.
Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

These comments are like a treasure trove.
I didn’t see anyone mention Kodi as an alternative to smart TVs. It’s better in every way than the Apple TV I won from a raffle at work. The best part is that my TV box is just a computer so I can use it to host other services too

Yeah, I remember using it on an actual original Xbox.

Hard disagree. Two similar tools but perform radically different functions.
I’ll agree with you when Kodi can natively launch and stream Netflix/AppleTV/Paramount+/Hulu/etc. (pick any two)
