   Try a media optimised OS such as Kodi, rather than a general purpose   
   distro if you want to use a Pi as a media player.

   Don't confuse the availability of a larger power supply with the Pi 5   
   taking more power - it's not much different to the Pi 4. However, as you   
   *could* attach 4 USB devices and a PCIe device, the PSU is rated to cope   
   with the maximum current all of those devices could use simultanously.   
   If you won't be doing that, you can use the Pi 4 PSU.   
      
   > Is not Pi5 a downgraded Pi4?   
      
   No, it's a new SOC which is about 3x faster than a Pi 4, and can use   
   NVME SSDs and other PCIe devices.
