<![CDATA[Stick PC for a media client?]]>Are mini stick PCs practical to set up as a media player, eg with jellyfin? Some advantages are the small form factor that plugs straight into the HDMI port, and flexibility/privacy vs using a dongle from a shitty company like amazon/google/roku.

Are there any things to watch out for to ensure it has enough compute power and hardware decoding? I just want it to play HD video with a jellyfin app/browser page.

I'm assuming it's no big deal to install Linux on (x86 hardware?), do you need to watch out for specific device support? Thanks
