bc there are a lot of android tv apps that are fantastic that don’t have ready alternatives on Linux for htpc usage. Clipious comes to mind, for instance. Having android tv apps available through Waydroid bridges the gap in functionality until native alternatives can replace them.

I’m so excited for this to officially release. As soon as plasma bigscreen is ready and waydroid has an android tv build, I’ll probably replace my nvidia shield.
6·7 days agosimilar to ImageMagick,
jpegtranis great for lossless jpeg transformations. You can even extend jpegs using the “crop” function, which can be very useful for batch-processing images, even though it’s hardcoded to middle grey.
To make life easier for yourself, I’d highly recommend running Linux on a separate drive. The Linux distribution installers I’ve used will install the bootloader on whatever drive you choose to install on, but the windows installer will use the storage controller’s port ordering to choose which drive to install on.
Your best bet is to simply disconnect the Windows drive when installing Linux and to disconnect the Linux drive when installing Windows, then just use the BIOS boot selection screen to choose which OS to boot into.
You can add your Windows drive to Grub and you might be able to add your Linux distro to your Windows bootloader, but keeping them entirely separate is probably best.
Currently someone has a an unofficial build. As far as I can tell, there are no plans to implement this or something similar upstream. https://github.com/supechicken/waydroid-androidtv-build
