Running Kodi and iLikeHD TV on computer stick

[edwinchester]

Hi. Currently getting my tv needs using the above on a small Android stick plugged into the tv.

Whilst it generally works good I sometimes get the feeling that all the pre-installed crap on the stick drags down the performance.

I'm wondering as to what is the simplest way to install a bare bones operating system on the stick?

As far as I can figure all I need is Android, chrome browser and Kodi, iLikeHD and Playstore apps.

Interested to read your thoughts, thanks.
