1. Budget & Location
up to 1000 € Germany
2. Aim
I want to have IP TV, Youtube, controlling smart home sutff via browser and play browser games on 2 TVs at my home and they should be able to watch their channel of choice (so i can't simply hook a steam link to one pc and stream vlc via it).
3. Monitors
max.2 at a time @ 720p - 1080p
4. Peripherals
Already have keyboards and mouses (loads of monitors, i5 4670k laying around, Gole 1, old laptops, loads of hdds, a steam link, raspberry pis)
5. Why are you upgrading?

Hello,
this is my first post here and I hope that i finally found the right place to ask.
The aim of this project is as described above and I'm looking to realize this on my amateur level.
I have tried setting up the raspberry pis as something like a smart tv but i figured out that they are too slow for 1080p IPTV via VLC, so this option wonn't work.
So linustechtips community how would you realize this project?
I'm thankful for every answer!
Ideas:
1. 2 thin clients
2. 2 Raspberry pis as thin clients?
3. 1 PC, 2 VMs,2 Steam Link?
4. 2 thin clients like a zbox/intel nuc/Compute stick and 1 server using unraid and 2 windows 10/linux mint virtual machines?
