I just wish a way to use it for some kind of light browsing and file managing
After I got the keyboard working properly I installed chromium and got a decent browser, now I just got to fix a desktop shortcut for chromium. As a file manager i use Midnight Commander in shell, and in X I open mc in a terminal window. But I bet there is better graphical file managers.
And create a launcher for Kodi, to shutdown mediacenter and start X, should be easy enough.
