Another KDE project, Plasma Bigscreen, is back from the dead with a much better UI spread across the entire shell.

    Never heard of this. So glad there is an alternative to android TV and Roku. Going to give it a shot.

    Excellent. The umbrella of KDE is home to a bunch of my favorite applications. Kdenlive, Krita, Digikam. I’ve been hotly anticipating the day I get a phone running Plasma Mobile

    This may be better eventually than Plasma Mobile for what I imagined as an ideal gaming frontend that isn’t just Steam Big Picture

    Maybe someday Waydroid and Android Translation Layer will make Linux as a HTPC+gaming great

    I had lots of problems with the previous version when turning the TV off/on while it’s running, like losing keyboard access (no focus) until you use the mouse at least once and it updating the display settings every time. Hope it’s getting better now.

    TBH the keyboard focus issue is happening on most Login Managers and DEs, so it’s not really their fault. I will try it out some time, until then I keep using my SteamOS install.

    So judging by the comments this is something you would install as a DE on a Linux distro, perhaps on a miniPC, not something running on the SmartTV itself?

    Nice! I wanted to use this, but my env already had plasma 6, I’d like to replace the TV os
