Seconding pop os for a solid starter Linux distro.

Been daily driving it for about 3 years now i think.

I tried for awhile to make osmc work on an raspi4 for media playing and it was always just… not quite there.

I ended up going with a Ebay mini pc with Plex on it and stream to my TV with a Roku stick. Just worked so much better without much effort on my part.

Huh I always thought ventoy was just another iso to usb writer. I’ve been totally sleeping on the fact it can hold a bunch of isos and installs them directly. That’s so handy
