    HTPC with Zorin OS 11


    Any and all advice is necessary.

    I really made a mess, I was in charge with buying a smart tv for my mothers birthday and I ended up buying a good tv, there's nothing wrong with it except for the fact that it isn't smart.

    So I've been reading on the internet and I guess my best bet would be to setup a HTPC rather than buying one. And I thought I would go with Zorin OS but I'm already unsure if it would be 9 or 11.

    Cheers, Boris :|

    Hi,
    Well I doubt 11 would be advisable since it's the newest.
    So I'd guess 9 would be the most tested
    Of course I have no idea what htpc is

    Most would just get a ruku which can be used with windows or linux lite is actually what my nephew uses.

    I think I'd go for a Fire stick and put Kodi/xbmc on it, that should cover all smart tv stuff.

    I've just checked and Finland doesn't have amazon so it's not really much good.

    I can always get from Deutschland.

    But no really this was just a thought seems my mother is just more keen on having a TV with Smart technology than getting more stuff so I'll scratch the HTPC but leave it as a test out Zorin OS.

    Well my mom wants it mostly because she works at YLE which is the Finnish broadcasting company and they have a like player on a website that lets you watch programmes that have aired but you have missed your chance to watch them.

    And with a Smart TV you can get the app for that website.
