As someone who has used Firefox on Android as the default browser for years, one thing that I must say is that Android never conveniently forgot my choice. Which cannot be said about Windows.

If it works for you, why not. Just be aware, that the point releases did have breaking ABI changes, and now they can happen randomly, without waiting for point release. Since I used the old, non-stream centos, the changes left some bitter t

9mo vs 1y is not a much of practical difference. With the rest, I agree. I run fedora on my desktop, but I would not use it for my parents, for example. Even with LTS, they were complaining that it changes all the time.

Pardon my ignorance, but what UI in Chromecast? From what I remember, there are just pretty pictures with clock when you don't play anything and your chosen stream, when you do. But if you mean UI of Android TV itself, then it seems to
