I meant that I ought to use it for its intended purpose after all.

(But yes, I would still like the option of replacing the OS.)

Honestly, I wouldn't bother replacing the OS. It'll more than make up for the cost in labor to just buy a raspberry pi and install the steam link software on it. The steam link hardware is not nearly beefy enough to do anything interesting with.

I just let mine be a little magic box for couch gaming.
