Is there a good, free, cross platform alternative?

I have a Lenovo duet 2 that runs fedora no problem. Detachable keyboard and great size

I use Chromecast to watch jellyfin on my TV. My host PC is hardwired, and obviously the Chromecast is through WiFi

Ya, like jolly rouge said, they're pretty good. I have had an occasional issue where the track pad didn't want to work after waking the PC up. But otherwise it's been bullet proof. All the hot keys work no problem. I haven't had any of the weird "can't wake from suspended state" issues I've had with older PCs. I basically leave my laptop plugged in next to my desk and it's ready at a moments notice. I use Windows for gaming and work btw. But I've even installed Valheim on my laptop just to see if it would work and it totally does. No complaints on fedora. I used endeavor on it as well and I want to say even pop is. Just a bit of distro going there, no reason I ditched the other two other than just preferring fedora in the end.

I love my dell 5300 latitude with fedora. Touchscreen, 13 inches, super compact. And a dime a dozen as you can find used enterprise laptops on eBay/Facebook market.

Slap a large nvme in there and you're good to go for like, under 300. With the leftover cash, you can even get a docking station and monitor if you wanted a dank setup at home.

Just coming in to say that I've tried pretty much all the noob Linux suggested distros, and fedora is what I use now. Started with Ubuntu in 2016. Gone through a few other like mint and peppermint. Even endeavor was really good but not 100% for me. Fedora had been pretty bullet proof.

Ya, this comment is way too far down. All 365 apps with within the browser. Problem solved.

I installed Bazzite on a Dell latitude just to check it out... The son of a bitch booted once, let me install updates then never booted again.

I ran ltsc for a few months... Then I found it didn't have simple stuff like the camera app? I forget why, but there was one all I really needed that I didn't have, so after fighting trying to install it, I just want back to Windows pro. I might give windows enterprise a try though.

Jellyfin is a bitch to get working outside my network. I don't get how Plex made it so easy

Plus one for Dell. I get some 4 year old decommissioned dells from my company and a 5300 is now my daily driver
