Too big a learning curve for an old man.  I’ll stick with Ubuntu LTS based.  Thanks for the confirmation that all Linux DISTROs are complicated. I can get mythtv up and running on Ubuntu server or Desktop in under 30 minutes. So I’ll stay there.

Sames problems I saw in my test.  I might try a VM to test Centos7 minimal with nux-dextop version 29 and mythtv as a comparison.
