Apologies if this is the wrong instance for this.
Is there a best option for HTPC streaming solutions besides throwing linux on an old desktop?
Plugging in a desktop for streaming doesn’t work too well for wall mounted televisions.
My options are mini pcs or a 3rd party streaming stick.
Even a raspi stick running osmc should do the trick.
These 3rd party sticks online are extremely tempting for power and features but I’m concerned about embedded malware.
Best option would be to wipe it and load osmc or rasparian to ensure its clean.
Anyone have experience with this?

This is my current setup actually. What annoys me is audio stops working when the device goes to sleep. I need to tinker with it. Running an HP slim prodesk
