i saw this marketplace post when i was looking for a mini pc. i did not buy it because i found another mini pc that was cheaper and had better specs

the seller advertised this as a private netflix and spotify alternative without monthly fees

the seller mentioned aio streams sonarr radarr prowlarr and navidrome

i am new to ubuntu and self hosted media servers so i am confused about how this actually works

is the private netflix and spotify part mainly marketing language to make the mini pc more appealing or does the setup actually provide movies music and tv shows

do i need to download my own movies and music and store them on the ssd then stream them to my tv or phone?

if yes i dont really like that idea because my ssd is only 250gb and i dont have much storage space. i have been thinking about this for a long time so i hope someone can explain how this actually works in simple terms

the mini pc i bought is a lenovo thinkcentre m70q gen 3

intel core i5 12400t 12th gen 6 cores 12 threads

16gb ddr4 3200mhz

intel uhd 730 integrated graphics

256gb micron nvme ssd

windows 11 pro

i want to use my m70q as a home theater pc and also for some light gaming so i am interested in building something similar

is private netflix and spotify just marketing language for this mini pc setup
