What's a good HTPC OS and software?
  • Ok here's what I do ... but be aware that I've had this same set for about 10 years so I'm sure everyone will bag on it but it works. On my main HTPC (the living room 60" screen) I have run Ubuntu as the background OS and auto open Kodi with the Confluence skin. I've added a few add on's for streaming and an add on that spans a Steam instance in Big Picture for my steam games and an add on for Lutris for other games. Lutris takes a bit of fiddling with to get it to run your games (a lot of set up scripts and downloading runners for emulators, but nothing to bad). I added a MCE remote and a IR receiver to move around in Kodi and attached a couple of Xbox Bluetooth controllers for gaming. I boosted my set up by moving my Kodi database on to my server with mySQL so that the librelec's running in the bedrooms all share the same database but that's a fancy touch that took a hour or so of set up that you don't need to do.

  • What are some examples of some of the most well-known and watched TV series at the time that been forgotten culturally?
  • How I Met Your Mother. I swear to god that show was huge in the late aughts and really reignited NPH’s career. Flash forward to today and the only time anybody ever even mentions it, is about how a bad ending can ruin a whole series and even there it comes in second to Game of Thrones.

  • How many languages can you say Please and Thank You in?

    Ok, Lemmy, let's another play a game!

    And I honestly think this one’s more important.

    Post how many languages in which you can say Please and Thank You, including your native language. If you can, please provide which languages and how to phonetically say them so the rest of us can learn!

    I spent a fair amount of bopping around Europe in the early Aughts and as a native English speaker, I found everyone appreciating my bad mangled attempts at politeness.
