From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does anyone use it? https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

Can you install it on a running system or do you have to install it on metal to test it?

Kodi is kinda klunky and old fashioned imo

I couldn't get any kodi extensions working... Do people still use this?

Yes, it my primary way of getting TV on my TV. I use jellyfin for other platforms but kodi is nice because you can control it with your phone and it has a nice TV guide
