OSMC


Last Update: 2023-06-06 11:48 UTC



OSMC (formerly Raspbmc) is a Debian-based minimal Linux distribution that brings the Kodi media centre software to a Raspberry Pi, Apple TV and Vero devices. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low-cost HTPC (Home Theatre Personal Computer) setup, yet delivering the same Kodi experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 147 (63), 6 months: 148 (69), 3 months: 131 (80), 4 weeks: 107 (97), 1 week: 36 (296)

For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

A great distro for multimedia. It’s easy to use, easy to customize and looks nice. The stability has been hit and miss here though, which I fault at using the systemd malware init. I wish they would base the distro on Devuan instead because of init freedom and not being locked down proprietary style by systemd because of Debian.
