I bought the high end nvidia shield last year and just out of warranty both the bluetooth and wifi chips died. It’s basically a brick now and I am probably never going to buy another. Even more stupid as I have an old tube-shield that is still running just fine from like 2018. I ended up installing https://libreelec.tv/ on an old pi 4 I had lying around. HDR, multi-language subtitles, using existing TV remote over HDMI-CEC, all work. That being said, I only use it for Jellyfin.
I hope anyone use using a shield does not have the same experience I did.
I ran into some minor issues with mine running Fedora 41, all had workarounds.

(remove the underscore, the word filter got a little overzealous) to my kernel command line since I couldn’t listen to music without stuttering. Fascinating that the display having PSR problems caused audio stutters, but here we are. It’s weird that others aren’t running into this, but whatever. My battery life is worse with it off but at least the computer doesn’t stutter anymore.edit: can i just say that there are fewer more negative places than Phoronix comments, in general. I wouldn’t take them too seriously.
