Onn needs a Google account. Fire stick requires an Amazon account. Apple tv, obviously an Apple account. PS5, Xbox all the same.

Is there a box that will let me stream Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, my own stored media?

Osmc is great for home stuff, but can’t do Hulu Netflix.

I could use a Linux PC, but not as simple as 1 remote for a cheaper box top.

Any suggestions? Or do I just get a Linux host

    Thought about it but there’s really not too many companies that make these. All from cheap Chinese no name brands. What one do you have? I’m open to recommendations.

      Nah mine’s just a cheap Chinese one as well. It’s just a roll of the dice. Only difference with mine is it’s a USB dongle, not Bluetooth.

      What are you using as an alternative? I toyed with using KDE Connect as my remote before I bought the separate one. Unfortunately KDE Connect requires KDE to be running, which makes it hard to screw around with stuff at boot time like GRUB or UEFI. Plus there are a bunch of keystrokes that are hard to make on KDE Connect.
