I am brand new to Linux and to Kodi. I tried Kodi on Windows 10 and the lag between selecting a song was about a minute and it was even longer when selecting a movie. I figure Linux is faster.
I tried the Kobuntu install, but couldn't get the USB drive to boot. I used the Pen software and selected Ubunto because I couldn't find Kodibunto on there - maybe that was my problem. So someone in another forum suggested Linux Mint. I was able to get that to work, so here I am with a Linux Mint laptop!
I like it so far, but so much of this is foreign to me. I am used to being able to download and run executables. So I go to the guide to install on Mint. I do know that Mint is based on Debian, so found that section. The first sentence states:
For reference, here is the link: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install_Kodi_for_Linux
Can someone ELI5 what to do on that link? Do I need to download all the links on the linked page? Where should I put them?
If anyone has patience, a "for dummies version" would be helpful
Thanks in advance.
