What are the best hardware and OS combos for a media setup?

Nvidia Shield + Lineage OS? Chromesomething? Roku? AppleTV? X86 + Linux? (I’m not afraid of Linux, but remember some posts about video acceleration not working and services being web only.)

$19.99 Walmart ONN Google play box. Handles 1080p just fine via Kodi over wifi.

How much malware is on that thing?

The firmware needs to be replaceable, so it doesn’t turn into a liability.

???? You block it in your network and don't give it any access to anything after you install Kodi. Then point Kodi to your smb share using a read only account. Why would you let any of these boxes online?
