I checked them and they seem pricier than R-Pi, though it might worth because x64. I found an Intel N97 model named GMKtec G5 and actually it seems great, much more power consumption than R-Pi though.

You already got your answer so I won’t repeat them. You cannot even replace the live TV app on your smart TV. I spent a somewhat huge time to fix what’s wrong on my mother’s TV but sadly best I could do was sideloading apps and blocking ad channels on pi-hole. Probably the best way is to buy Raspberry-Pi and install LibreElec. At least that’s I’ll suggest next time we need such device.

Meanwhile here I am with ghostwriter

Most of the time a VM suffice. But when it comes to authenticating programs like that bootloader unlocker, I usually run into problems. Instead of trying to fix its problems, I find this solution easier. It’s a 120 GB SSD I wouldn’t possibly use otherwise anyway, so no hurt.

Sometimes I run into some bullshit reason so I keep an old 120 GB SSD with Windows 10 in it so when I need I can plug it into my laptop.

The latest reason was, Xiaomi’s bullshit bootloader unlocker that only works on Windows.

I tried it on my Nexus 7 (2013) when Lomiri was still a thing and it was before the U-boot requirement, so I won’t be able to help. However later I decided to go back to Android because I actually wanted to use it rather than having it as a test device. I managed to install TWRP again. Though if holding volume up + power button does nothing, no idea how to fix it.

Currently pulling via yt-dlp as well.

I wish that was the case but there is no source code, not even a web app. That’s the problem with most of them.

Sadly there are apps that don’t have an F-Droid replacement.
