Same here. In fact I've been using a fellow Ars Technica-recommended HP Stream Mini [0] as my Kodi box for many years, with an upgraded Wifi chip, extra RAM, and an SSD, but it's getting long in the tooth and Windows 10's frequent unkillable, non-deferrable background upgrade/virus scan processes make the damn thing unusable half the time. I keep meaning to blow the Win 10 install away and try installing Linux Mint or something, but it keeps falling into my backlog.

I do wish NVIDIA would release a new Shield already, as that would probably solve my problems, but the last one they released is like five years old at this point.
