I use libreelec/kodi but its not easy for some things. I dont know if netflix works but twitch doesnt work for me over months because it keeps freezing the whole system. Its a bit like mobile linux: its wonderful but nowhere near end user ready.

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.

I tried libreelec over the weekend but Plex and Netflix both failed to launch. I Googled the error and people advised to manually downgrade the add on versions, and it looked like a troublesome process. Maybe I was doing something wrong?
Its absolutely possible I fear. Instead of plex I use composite which does work well imo but some apps work badly and the feedback/update cycle seems very dysfunctional. That part imo is even worse than mobile linux since it is even more niche and fractured.
Hmm. Maybe I should just toss Ubuntu onto it and use a Bluetooth mouse instead of a controller.
You could try bigscreen. No idea if its bettter.
