I wanted to use an older PC (with gtx 750 ti, should be enough) as a TV box for streaming (so watch Netflix). Since the PC is quite slow with Windows due to the HDD, I wanted to ask whether there's a Linux variant or another operating system which is suitable for use as a streaming box.
Why not an Amazon fire tv stick?
Because I want to use my Lan cable and therefore I would have to buy the Stick plus Lan adapter first. Incidentally, I have the PC standing around anyway at the moment

→ I can only ask.
Why don't you just install an SSD?
How do you stream? Simply switch on and off you go or how? Or call up Netflix beforehand with a mouse and keyboard and then watch?
Why Linux It won't necessarily run faster if your HDD is the problem.
