But Lenovo only had the first gen available for sale,

can you share which model that is?

which ones?

you weren’t specific about your use case, but if running media-consumption apps is your thing, there’s a LineageOS AndroidTV port for Raspberry Pi. the most polished UX, no Google spyware to slow things down, super-competent hardware (avaialable with up to 8 GB RAM), supports HDMI-CEC (you can use your TV’s remote), has a wired LAN port, and you always have the option of installing a linux distro.

there’s the problem with religion: you allow random fantasies to permeate everyday life and it’ll inevitably spill over.

case in point: the fantasy that there’s a good-guy backdoor, unaccessible to bad guys.

so, demand away, preferably at the same place you entertain all other fantasies, like theaters, cinemas, tax-exempt criminal conspiracies churches, strip clubs, and the like.

you’re right. edited.

it doesn’t do none of those things. also, you should include less details, it’s fun guessing what your software stack is, how you installed it, and the term “if I use Wayland” is way too precise. likewise, that sentence of yours is enormously protracted, you should consider shortening it.

seriously, are you for real?

edit: hey, if you want people to help you, provide details as to your os, software, hardware, and maybe spend a bit of time describing your issue in detail as well as stuff you’ve tried. cheers!

dios mio, with the “sign petition” and “vote harder”, a waste of energy and dulling the blade of revolt.

just tried to re-watch “the girl in the spider’s web”, the not-sequel to fincher’s masterpiece that’s “the girl with the dragon tattoo”. I remember hating it way back when and went in with a “how bad can it be” attitude… dios mio, what a colossal mountain of shit. the “hacking” in OP is hard sci-fi compared to this turdistan, and that’s the least of its problems.

someone posted already the gell-mann amnesia effect and this applies to everything. how guns are portrayed in movies as magical. cars and how they’re driven. the laughable naive cop shows. medical procedures. legal proceedings. journalists and their MO.

you hafta run your brain at 110% at all times to be able to somewhat disregard the learned idiocy that was programmed into you from an early age. here’s hoping we have the infrastructure in place so generations that are coming can avoid becoming similarly handicapped.

Far Cry 5, running in 1080p on a 2160p desktop (alt-tabbing doesn’t switch resolutions, so jumping back and forth is seamless)

it’s way less neck strain than the usual dual 24" side-by-side. this is like having 4x 20" 1080p screens in a grid but without the annoying bezels, and that’s how I’m mostly using it. plus you have the option to expand a window in any direction when you need it, which you can’t do in a multi-monitor setup. I arrange the windows in a 2x2 grid, or go smaller, usually 3x2 with keyboard shortcuts, by way of Better Quick Tiles for Plasma 6 (Kwin extension). tried the auto-tilers, hated 'em.

when I’m done with work, jellyfin-media-player in Fullscreen TV mode with a $5 bluetooth remote from the couch for movies and shows.

gaming sure, I run the games in 1080p and the desktop in 4k, so older games allow me to turn on FSR. had problems with Gnome Shell crashing regularly, zero crashes since I switched to Plasma.

Plasma on the desktop with the 40" 4K screen with lotsa windows and desktops. Gnome on the laptop, each app full-screen and swipe left-right to switch between them.

like a commercially available one? negative, you have to tinker and make it such.

if you have linux on the player (like with said PC or Raspberry) you have full control and can set it up to boot directly into jellyfin-media-player in fullscreen TV mode (that’s the one where remotes work).

Raspberry Pi with a cute case then, and/or glued/velcroed to the back of the TV. they also support HDMI-CEC so your TV’s remote can work.

stove them out of sight? well, you can go for a mini-PC if price isn’t an issue. but these things can be had for ultra-cheap, especially if you have one laying around or get one with a busted screen or sumsuch. an android box is a hit or miss, maybe it’s good, maybe it’s crap, maybe it’s loaded with malware… the middle ground would be a Raspberry Pi, there are unofficial LineageOS Android TV builds.

an old laptop/desktop (like 6th-gen Intel or newer) that boots directly into jellyfin-media-player in TV fullscreen mode. it supports any remote that can emmit up-down-left-right, enter, esc (like, via InputRemapper). disable transcoding on the server and play anything you want via direct stream.

yeah, had the same deal with Xiaomi’s unlock tool. no WINE, no VM, bare-metal Windows only. oh yeah, doesn’t even work on Ryzens, has to be Intel, like wtfff…

I wish everyone and OP included would begin with their hardware, or at least mentioning if it’s a Nvidia system. if it is, I’ll just disregard everything written in regards to glitches and crashes.

my (all AMD, F41) system gets updated and rebooted like once a month, if I remember (flatpaks are on an auto-update timer); it gets suspended in the evening and woken in the morning, tons of apps are open for days. that’s a month-long uptime on a workstation that also does gaming, with those same apps open in the background. this was impossible on Gnome - just randomly closes all apps and here’s your login screen. OOM? driver? who knows - alls I know is, since the switch that happened zero times.

oh, of course, sorry if I came off harsh. it’s just, I escaped Gnome’s gigantic title bars and useless buttons in it occupying like half the screen, and couldn’t wait to turn it all off in Konsole, so I’m kinda baffled with anyone having them on. just FYI, check out the keyboard shortcuts for Konsole and you’ll boost your productivity considerably.

edit: this one’s mine. there are many like it but this one’s mine.

I’m sorry, I gotta - you have the menu on AND the button bar? like, why? you click on those things? you got your screen real-estate on a sale, what?
