Haven't been there yet, but I have a feeling you're right.
One advantage of the RPi is that it's really easy to try stuff. If it breaks the
system, I just yank the mSD card and replace it with a clean one made on the other
machine, and take the broken one to the other machine and rewrite it with the clean
system. When everything is right and tested, I write it to the SSD and have a new clean
version. If after a couple of weeks nothing has beoken, I can migrate it to the SSD on the
other machine.
Right now trying to fix the TV tuner issue and a totally goofy Netscape and Vivaldi
problem. Netscape-Mozilla-Firefox v.126 runs Widevine perfectly well, so I can watch paid,
subscribed stuff. But it has had a bug since 119 -- the screen blanker doesn't notice
that it's running. So every few minutes in a movie or show the TV shuts down. Aha, I
thought, well then I'll run Firefox ESR, which really does resemble Netscape . . . and
won't, it turns out, run Widevine at all. The blanker bug isn't in ESR. Which no,
is not named for Eric S. Raymond. So I thought maybe Vivaldi, which I like elsewhere,
would do. It supposedly runs Widevine but it's pretty shaky about it. There are all
sorts of folk tales -- really -- about getting Widevine to work on it, but I haven't
found a reliable one.
It is not a TV if it can't run Crunchyroll! And now I know why people are tempted to
pirate stuff, if they pay for it and can't watch it.
