If you insist you can use the video, but it’s very slow and totally unusable as a Kodi media-center. ![]() I’ve installed FreeBSD on some RPi3 boards in the hope of replacing whatever they were doing before on Raspbian. In the last few weeks, I’ve devoted some of the very little free time that I have to try just that. Being able to use an entirely different OS is refreshing.
