@adriannyc
Please tell me more about what I see here! Is this KDE running on a TV?
Hold my remote.
@citizenserious oh yes it is .
️ running on arch -
@adriannyc huh, plasma has a big-screen UI? does it support controller input?
@rnd Haven't tried a controller as of now current using a wireless keyboard.
-
@adriannyc I'm super excited by this. We have usb-c hubs on every screen in the house for the steam deck and laptops (desks and TVs). I dream of being able to connect a #LinuxMobile device and have it fit the screen, moving my content and apps with me.
@dubstar_04 same here.

@adriannyc Nice work! Is this a port to new KDE frameworks/Qt6 also?
-
@adriannyc this looks sick as heck! We are marching ever closer to the day when everything can be linuxed. What TV is this? Or is this a USB plugged into the TV situation?
-
@adriannyc No way...
Thats awesome!
Didn't know you could put plasma on there. -

@wombatpandaa its a regular tcl TV I connected my laptop via HDMI. Can't stand seeing android tv full of ads
. I have heard that the brand Spectre makes tvs without any preloaded OS. -
@adriannyc Did I miss how Plasma got a ui for a tv? If so, how does it fares against android tv?

I'm hoping that I'll be able to set up a Steam Machine as a similar sort of set top box thing, for the same reason. I usually use an Amazon Echo Cube and it's riddled with buggy apps and annoying ads.

https://plasma-bigscreen.org is the place if you want to learn more about this recent effort.

@wombatpandaa if only steam releases the ISO for steam OS I'll gladly build a small gaming box. That would be cool. I'm guessing the Steam Machine will be pricy.

@sneaky4oe compared to Android TV the possibilities are endless flathub applications work great the UI is straightforward without bloat.

@adriannyc there's already an iso for the handheld version so I'd imagine they'll release the desktop version too. And of course the various handheld editions of gaming distros. So there's options!

@jasonhoss Arch Linux on kde plasma
@adriannyc Did you leverage AUR or build via kde-builder?

@adriannyc I want to see this in Bazzite so badly. This is awesome for HTPCs.
