Does anyone use it? https://plasma-bigscreen.org/
Can you install it on a running system or do you have to install it on metal to test it?
I’ve got it installed on a Debian 12 box I’m using as an htpc. It’s works pretty nicely.
I tried it and I don’t think it’s usable. the applications it has are quite frankly garbage. and it overall feels janky to control. not great IMO
Are u trying to install on x86 or ARM? ARM has images u can use. As for x86 I didn’t find distro with out of the box bigscreen configured, however there are AUR recipes - makes it easy to use it on Manjaro.
I’m going to find out if I can install it on MX debian with KDE when I get home.
I believe you can install it on anything that supports KDE. PostmarketOS has it as an environment option. I’ve not tried it yet either, but I’m interested in a Linux TV Box alternative as well.
I mean, Kodi (formerly XBMC) has existed for aeons now…
Use kodi
Kodi is kinda klunky and old fashioned imo
You can change the skin. I use osmc which is has a much nicer skin by default
I couldn’t get any kodi extensions working… Do people still use this?
Yes, it my primary way of getting TV on my TV. I use jellyfin for other platforms but kodi is nice because you can control it with your phone and it has a nice TV guide
