Hello, I’m looking to setup a simple Linux-based media center PC, as I really can’t stand ad ridden TV interfaces, using an old tiny Lenovo Thinkcentre with a Ryzen 5 2400GE or something similar.
Does anyone have any experience with rendering 4K video on such a weak iGPU? All the information I seem to find is Windows only.
Hope I’m not in the wrong community.
That should be totally fine for 4k video playback.
That’s good to hear. Thank you :)
it will be enough for YT playback, since streaming services don’t support PCs
I was thinking of running jellyfin, and have been experimenting with it for the last few days.
What do you mean by streaming services not supporting PCs? I’ve had both HBO Max and Prime running perfectly on Linux.
by not supporting PCs, I meant 4K/Dolby Atmos/HDR streaming (except netflix, which gives you HDR and Atmos if you use their shitty windows app)
Oh, I see. To be honest, I never really cared about HDR, but as far as I know it’s not supported on Linux at all.
I’ve watched 4K Youtube on that cpu without issues.
Should be overpowered, only thing I’d recommend is having 2 channels of ddr4.
