I have a Shield pro 2017 that is running really slow with a bunch of issues. The 9.0 update (ads on home screen one) killed performance and now it's slowly been getting worse. I was thinking of just reformatting but have been looking into debloat it as well ( https://florisse.nl/shield/). Anyone have any other tweaks they've done on these? I just use it as a client for Plex and YouTube mainly.

Look into Linux 4 Tegra or L4T and configure it to be easily usable with the remote. I wonder if there is some already documented way of making Linux into a TV OS.

I was thinking about finding a SoC that could do x264 and x265 natively and doing something like Linux into a tv box but haven't taken a deep dive into it yet.

I was thinking of buying the cheapest x86 mini pc on aliexpress and use it with a keyboard to play my totally legal media with mpv. But idk

I guess if I could find one with IR/add IR or just finally get a good remote that would be good. Tbh if it was just me I would have just set up an old sff with a wireless keyboard and be perfectly fine, but my wife likes a streamlined interface that works with our TV remote. I got a k400 a few months ago and have been trying to get that to replace our remote but she doesn't like it as much. If I could just set up a SoC machine that works with a remote (used Logitech Harmonies at my last job but that was years ago) I think that might be the best compromise. Sorry, started the post about fixing my shield but there is another TV and projector I want to set up right.
