@trashheap @budsofstone It's not a good option, requires a special mouse at best.
@joe @trashheap i mean ive done it before and known other people who do, single board computers are plenty powerful enough to run streaming at 1080p @ 60f which is higher quality than you get with netflix anyway. I recommend a mini bt keyboard/trackpad for controlling it. You can make it autostart any one of the streaming services from boot. openelec linux might be a good option if you are looking for a more simple gui with apps front and center. There are plenty of other htpc distros as well.
@budsofstone @trashheap You have to be careful of which browser you use for these things. Some won't support DRM at Netflix and others are too slow. Many have issues playing YouTube in Firefox over a handful of frames per second on a Raspberry Pi 5
@trashheap libreelec with kodi is another popular option.
i prefer a more tranditional os, but im a luddite uber nerd that does most things from the terminal. So my prefs are probably not most peoples.
