I have only used them with network manager, but according to the manual it seems possible to use them free of network manager, and maybe even systemd!

You can’t make a usb bootable without root access iirc. If you already have a bootable usb like ventoy then you can load any goofy thing you want into it without root access and it’ll work.
Yes you can!
As you said, it’s got everything to do with routing and you don’t know how to do that yet.
Now’s a great time to learn!
If you’re on a time crunch, go ahead and use network namespaces under network manager to set up something like what you want as another user suggested.
If you have time to learn about the firewall and routing table rules, put on your wire rim sunglasses, pop a jungle cd in and crack open Linux Firewalls or some such book for nerds.
Nah, anything will work fine.
Just a quick question, are you sure it’s the cpu that died? Those ivy bridge (?) chips really seem to last. I’d be surprised if it was the cpu and not the motherboard or power supply of something.
You have one of the nicer fourth gen chips. It would probably be worth it to take it to a computer shop or something and have them try to boot it with a good board.
If it’s still kicking, those motherboards are cheap as heck. The ddr3 is cheap too.
No reason not to keep it around to run a file server/seedbox/Jellyfin server/whatever.
Oh you saw desktop like a desktop computer, I see now!
Tbh I would probably never fix it if that worked. What’s a little dongle between friends.
Yes . Local/bin, good looking out.
Does your which program name report the right one?
Can you put it in the ~/bin or something and modify the $path to go there first?
I was asking the op what desktop environment they’re running, in response to their question
So, are there alternative programs to Kodi, ideally better suited to desktop usage or extensions I can install to make it work properly?
Kodi seems to be the wrong choice for what they want to do, but zeroing in on the right choice needs more information.
What desktop?
Someone already explained why this is a bad idea.
Now if he’s interested in the microcontroller adjacent functions of the pi or the one built into a keyboard like the old amiga and trs home computers then set him up with a kvm switch or second monitor +barrier and a normal x86 computer running Linux.
I wasn’t completely convinced by that since I build it from source and the binary blobs match their checksums. Months between releases isn’t out of the ordinary for some projects too…
Regardless, what is an alternative that works the same way?
