Unfortunately, I'm locked into software that only runs on either Mac or
Windows, but my goal is to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I think I have an
empty SSD slot inside the laptop, so that might be the way to do it. My
Macs are too old but who can afford new Apple hardware.  So the Dell will
satisfy my needs but I have some desires that I'd like to add.  When I
travel I need to work on the road including managing mythtv.

Kodi serves as a decent player. But mythfrontend is the best.  I guess dual
boot will happen sooner than later.
