    What OS are you using for the gaming pc under your TV? Wanted to do something alike but don’t know what would be the best OS for something like that

      The best OS for your HTPC is whatever OS you’re comfortable with

      My HTPC is on windows 11, set to auto log-in and launch steam big picture. Disabled as much of the Microsoft BS as I can, including the nags to use Onedrive or sub to Office 365 every major update.

      Using Unified Remote to control things with my phone and also Parsec/Moonlight for game streaming to other devices.

      My media is served from my Unraid server to my devices both locally and remotely.

      All working well so far. 👍

        I was looking for something easy and fast to use even if I’m on the couch. Something that i could set to almost look like a smart tv but that could also work with steam link/moonlight
