Is there a good way to set it up with a remote?

It’s how I have been running it for the last two years now. Coupled with Jellyfin, it is such a better experience. My mother just got a new TV - I think I will set up something similar for her.

That is also my experience. People are certainly opinionated which could be interpreted as hostility in some cases, but most people are willing to share and help when someone less knowledgable have gotten stuck with something.

You could look up 3Blue1Brown’s explainers on YouTube, they are pretty good and shows a lot of visual examples. He has a lot of other videos on other areas of math.

I find the non-fiction stuff he writes good (e.g. The Internet Con, Chokepoint Capitalism). I believe this book is like that?

I found his fiction, based on the one book (The Lost Cause) I read, to be a bit juvenile in style (as in feels like a young adults kind of book) to the point I didn’t quite enjoy it, although the topics are interesting enough.

you need certificates on iOS which suck

I can still sideload whatever I want
