My TV is not a smart TV but has hdmi inputs. Are there any non American alternatives to the Amazon fire stick?

My workplace is giving old mini PCs to the employees. I put a linux distro on that and use it as a media pc. You can get them on ebay or similar for ~30 €, so it's basically the same price as a TVStick. I reccommend getting a bluetooth keyboard as well.

If you want another stick then there's also Roku.

I'll have a look at Roku thank you because it needs to be user friendly for the family.

Roku is the easy way out for sure, even though I (and the other Linux homies) will espouse the Linux way
