Part of the reason I steer to windows for main work/play PC’s is due to the greater amount of support for the platform and the overall ease of use, however I’ve looked into various distros for the HTPC which would enable a more native “console” like experience than what I have now via it automatically opening Kodi and Kodi acting as a launcher for steam or playing YouTube, Netflix and Disney+ through the interface.
XFCE meanwhile for the laptop is to enable a familiar desktop environment light on resources (the laptop is over a decade old at this point) and efficient for when I’m at school or need the laptop for work purposes (like a presentation I’ll have to give in the coming weeks).
