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

    I’ll look into it thanks. I ran the apt command on Debian and was intimidated by how many dependencies were required. Might try it on a test machine first.

      Yeah when you install one KDE component it tries to install the entire DE by default as “recommended” dependencies. There’s a flag for apt that tells it to only install necessary dependencies and not also the optional recommended ones.
