I worked in the media broadcasting, we had an internal lib to scale/convert whatever format in real time, and it went from basic operation, to SSE3, to AVX512, to CUDA, and yes crafting some functions/loops wit assembly can give an enormous boost.
Just use Debian, it has old root, stable, still being developed, it’s the base of various others distro that “enhance” it (sometimes badly).
Debian.
I’m using MX Linus AHS, based on Debian, BTW.
I also have a netbook with an Atom N2600, I overclocked it from 1.6GHz to 2.0GHz, upgraded from 1GB to 3GB of RAM, and replaced the old HD with an SSD, I then installed MX Linux, 32 bits version, Xfce, and it works pretty well. Only huge webpages are slow, but everything else is about still usable
Me using no systemd, no flatpak, no snap… I think I’ll pass
ok, cool, but to do this, it does not need complicated legs/balance system, having tracks à la wall-e or 3 or 4 wheels would do the job
Of course, I even installed latest MX Linux on my 2007 netbook, with an atom 32 bits, 3GB of RAM, I replaced the old HD with a $20 SSD, works fine, pretty slow in firefox, but works :)
I understand it could make sense for 4G/5G telecom as transmit towers can be saturated etc if people download terabytes and terabytes every day. But for at home cable? having a cap makes no sense really…

With your budget, take the 75U78N at Costco, 2yr warranty + you can extend to 6yr for 150$ I think.
Hisense especially the 78N (and 88N) have absolutely beautiful stunning picture, maybe one of the best for the buck, check the review https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u7n-u7-u75n it handles DolbyVision, HDR, 144Hz, etc
It does not use a shitty OS like roku nor ads like Samsung. You may need to have it plugged on internet for 1st boot and FW update, but after this you can obviously disconnect it, plug your HDMI device and that’s it, it will act as a dumb monitor.
I don’t know what program really is catching the keys, but from my keyboard, the vol+/- mute speaker and mute mic are working, my behavior enable keyboard shortcut checkbox is rightly checked.
I’m using Xfce, and the program to control volume is “pavucontrol”, no problem with it…
Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so
Quickly came to write “AWK!!!” but yeah… you don’t want its superiority… 😜
Say the guy who had his Saudi brother, Jamal, killed, dismembered, and dissolved in acid.
