    Can people get Bigscreen anymore?

    Kodi is so close to being absolutely perfect

      Bigscreen is a new project to my understanding, I would like it to be a thing cause it would fill a nice niche for me that I’m overblowing with Kodi. Kodi is really nice but it feels a little laggy for my system. Maybe I need to tune it for my system.

        change you skin… seriously. there’s some really sleek and light skins out there. changes night and day

        edit - i use a fairly modified arctic fuse skin. The onyl thing that loads slow… is my 2k iptv channels…

          I think i use Artic: Zephyr - Reloaded on a N95 miniPC. It was bad on Kodi 20, on 21 it feels snappier, tho i feel theres still improvements to be made. The skin however made a huge difference. I dunno why they dont have nice sane defaults

        My experience so far

        Kodi (LibreELEC) was running rough on an old i5 4160 or something, when installed on an SD card. It also runs a little sluggish when installed on a Chromebook.

        But I went back to that first PC with a real SSD and now kodi is running fantastic. On a fedora kinoite install

        And paired with some commands for KDE Connect, and I’m pretty satisfied so far. It’s been about four days with it.

          I have it on a miniPC. It shouldnt have IO or compute issues for what its doing. It feels like it could be a little faster? maybe im expecting too much as well. I also know its tuned for low resource devices, so maybe i could tune it for mine
