Way over-budget for your taste I guess but I still wanted to make a note here for representation sake. Look into the brand Zidoo. I have Zidoo Z9X 8K, it’s the best client I could dream of! ~250$

Cons:

• Android based (outdated AF but still)
• Maybe not so secure (http server always on while the device is on, atm)

Pros:

• Very good support of Dolby Vision, 4K (8K maybe?)
• Very pretty, both hardware and software very polished IMO
• The remote is glorious, tactile with backlight
• Lots of other cool things
• Very snappy Android experience
• it just works™
• The audio downmixing works great, compared to the Google TV which was very bad
• First party Jellyfin support among others

I hope they continue learning lessons from other OSes.

I’m feeling like you are wrong about them outright copying. Some good things can be taken from macOS and Windows. But a lot of bad things too, which is why they are thinking it through.

Please do not reduce the community effort to “cloning macOS”. It’s insulting to the people working on it… Apple doesn’t own modals or modal design.

Here there are not 20 ways of putting 3 buttons in a modal. They just happen to choose a way that will also work on mobile I guess.

Kudos for noticing this extra space which could enhance these kind of modals though.

I don’t like everything Gnome has been doing, especially with the lack of customization or the status bar. But Gnome has been my go to for 7+ years and I like where it is going. Extensions are pretty fly too 👌

You literally posted a link that shows “Read changelog here”…

Here is what you are asking for…

You can “unplug” your unique/dedicated GPU to plug it into the VM upon VM startup. But it’s a bit harder to manage. It’s an option though 👌
