Media Center

[shaggytwodope]

It would most certainly work. What comes to mind tho is using a mouse at great distance. If the keyboard works for you tho, and you're good on the shortcuts you'll be more then fine. There are options to use some media center type stuff, but this complicates a simple process of playing videos in vlc. I would suggest making playlists and such to make playing stuff back easier. As far as using chrome at a distance I've no idea lol.

But glad to see you chose LinuxLite for this, if you run into troubles don't be shy asking for aid.
