So if I want a stick that can run something like LineageOS, with no malware, being no weaker than a Fire TV stick 4k (but preferably better and with more RAM), for local streaming (don't care about Widevine etc.) of 4K, HDR, maybe DV content, then what the fuck should I get? Also, I'm in the EU, so fuck those Onnnn devices, can't get those anyway.

Stop working, no, but what's the performance like on those things with the older hardware? Massive UI lag or is it still reasonably snappy - or better with custom firmware?

my nexus player doesn't have any lag rendering the ui, the only lag I get is 1 second of loading before a video plays in smarttube
