      I’m going bigger with a mini itx… I like the power and it runs VERY fast with strawberry’s voice module ;)

      hello will you publish how you ggot this with your pc? thank you

      I"m not making a traditional mirror per say… I"m using an Intel cpu and mini itx board with 8 gig ram and SSD on a 32" TV.

      I installed Ubuntu and MM … that’s pretty much it :)

      Is there anything specifically you needed to know?

        Sorry but I never noticed these replies or would have replied earlier, I managed by following @Mykle1 guide. and it worked as expected. Been so busy with setyting up full Alexa home automation in my home that I manage on here for quick visits only, but now automation is complete, I can come back to MM and continue with it, and hopefully incorporate MM in some way, although I already have alexa power up/down the monitor.

          Ahh, excellent! :^)

          Sounds like you’re having fun and getting things done. I don’t have Alexa. Sounds damn cool though! :^)

              Cool, but quite a lot of work coding and making macros, using Broadlink RM Pro (IR and RF), with BlackBean in another room to automate there by IR, using a Droid box as a hub, and now controlling every light, every power point switch, lamps,TV’s, all functions of my AV equipment, LED striplights, spot lights, power on/off my PC’s, access any app/file on PC’s, use and control my Plex server to watch movies, listen to music, view pictures, open close my blinds, Volume up/down on TV’s, change source, change channels, full control of droid box, ect, ect, all by voice control only.

              Now I’m back fully with MM and hope to do more with that.

                After all that, I’m thinking, you will NOT have a problem with MM. :^)
