i own an x96 tv box
this could work - depending which box it is [HOWTO + FAQ] Install community builds on S905/S905X/S912 device
WeTek Hub with 1gb is no problem, Kodi and LE has currently no use for 1gb ram.

Ehh.. No. Nothing is future proof. Every htpc box will be bound for dust collection some day.
First it was the ancient GPUs, then the 32bit boxes, then 4K, after that HEVC, HDMI 2.0, now 10bit, HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, 8K....
There will always be a reason to get a 'better' htpc device.

What i meant was you can build it yourself. Change ssd, memory, OS etc. Those Chinese boxes are poor quality build. Old Android OS etc.
