that’s basically what i had. a cheap laptop for a ‘streaming device’ and media player with a k400 keyboard with trackpad. connected to a monitor to start, then a cheap tv. don’t have a ‘media server’ though, just a pile of hard drives (externals, or internals with usb adapter or ‘dock’).
the tv eventually did get hooked up to wifi but i only use it for a couple ‘free’ apps that require no signin and work through pihole ok. mostly the ‘tv’ is playing a random playlist.
‘optimizations’ and fixes targeting specific games that nvidia does are in the drivers themselves.
what geforce experience does is mess with game config files–and it really isn’t that great at it, either.
gfe is basically just a data gathering and marketing tool. i’ve never seen a point or purpose for the user. it benefits them far more than you, and can mess up your own game settings.
leave it uninstalled.
