I’ve been waiting for Plasma Bigscreen for quite a while for my and eventually my family’s living room entertainment system.
Add a DVB receiver and you can just a normal, dumb screen and never have to deal with shitty “smart” TVs again.
Right now? Only buying Android TV because it’s the only OS whixh I can manipulate (using ADB).
i wonder if I’ll be possible to flash this on my nvidia shield when it’s out
How useful is this in the grand scheme of things if the applications themselves don’t have a 10ft UI? I guess you’d need to limit yourself and find apps specifically made to be shown on a TV… within a repository that caters desktop apps. Blending TV’s and desktops is hard…
Ohhhh it’s finally coming!
Looking forward to trying it.
Last time I used it, it felt laggy to menu through.
How’s HDMI-CEC support in Linux? I remember that being a sticking point last time I considered building an HTPC
How’s HDMI-CEC support in Linux?
Pulled directly from KDE Plasma’s Bigscreen website.
Multiple Input Methods
Navigate with your TV remote via CEC, a game controller, a keyboard and mouse, or even your phone via KDE Connect.
Reintroduces, really. Iirc it was originally made for plasma 5 and and was broken by changes in Plasma 6. This is “we fixed the stuff we broke”.
Nice. Definitely something to check out when I build my next HTPC.
This plus a Flirc USB would be amazing. I’m going to give it a go.
Well now I want an htpc even more!
