  "textContent": "submitted by Dariusmiles2123 to linux\n20 points | 35 comments\n\nHi everyone!\n\nIn the next year or so, my project is to rip all my blurays and put them on a 4tb external USB hard drive. I’ve already done it for all my DVDs, but I still have to buy an external bluray player in order to finish the job. My budget for the bluray player is CHF 75.- used, so around 75$. All this is done through MakeMKV.\n\nThen, I’d want to have a small Linux PC that I’d use as a media center. My budget is under CHF 100.-, so around 100$. I’ve noticed that you can get 2014 MacMinis with i5 or i7 for that budget, but I’m open to any other brand.\n\nWhat I’d want the PC to do: -Play all my movies stored on my external USB drive. I don’t think I have 4k movies, but I can’t exclude that some of my Blurays will be 4k in the future -Display my family pictures and videos stored on kDrive (a cloud by Infomaniak) through Firefox and WebDav -Play my music on my Yamaha Amplifier through Firefox and Tidal -Use the wifi for updates, browser based stuff, etc…\n\nThe PC would probably not be used for anything else for now, but it needs to be able to become a desktop PC again in the future if needed.\n\nI’d want to operate the PC with a bluetooth mouse and only have to use a keyboard from time to time.\n\nI’ve heard about Jellyfin, Libelec, Kodi and other stuff but I don’t really know what they are.\n\nThanks in advance for your advice!",
