Let me tell you about the hell that is Roku. They create so much wireless interference and I can’t just get rid of them.
The problem stems from WiFi direct. They automatically scan for the busiest channel and then broadcast full strength on that channel. I don’t know why they do this but it creates a crazy amount of interference.
And before you ask, no you can’t turn WiFi direct off. Also the remote uses WiFi direct for some reason.
WHY, ROKU WHY!
I have a mini PC running linux and I use it for streaming (including a Jellyfin library) and gaming. I love it and use it almost exclusively. However I have not gone down the rabbit hole of HDR and Dolby Vision for 4K DRM content.
I have a Google TV stick for that content, which is very far from ideal, I know. But in fairness I find myself barely ever using it.
If 4K and Dolby is important, I saw someone else recommending an Apple TV box as you can easily disable telemetry and the device isn’t riddled with advertising or tracking, but then the apps you download would still be a law until themselves. But probably way better than Roku, Amazon and Google et al?
Yeah, that’s the big issue with Kodi. Good luck getting any legitimate streaming services to work at more than 720p at best. And you can forget about library integration with those legit streaming service addons too.
The best user experience is trying to find the most trustworthy pre-packaged/configured pirate “version”, and optionally paying for realdebrid.
