Ooh, it looks like Plasma Bigscreen is aiming for (re-)release with the Plasma 6.7 update in June 2026.

Get Plasma Bigscreen

Plasma Bigscreen is not yet widely available. We are planning to join the Plasma release schedule starting with Plasma 6.7 (in June), which will make it possible for distributions to ship it in their repositories.

Okay, #linux #gaming nerds...

- How many of you have your #steamdeck connected to your large screen TV?

- If so, what are you guys using for #peripherals?

- do you also occasionally switch to steam's desktop mode for internet shizz? What resolution tweaks have you used to make text more readable on a TV?

- this is probably also an #htpc question, and probably #FilthyCasual

Cc @gamingonlinux if willing, can u boost for viz?

Apologies in advance for the hashtag spam 😈

Voy a finiquitar tb el #forzahorizon4 😇 q ya sestá instalando en el #htpc q aunque lo tengo físico xa la #xboxone voy a darle en algo mas gordo (tb lo instalé en la #steamdeck 😜).

X cierto el #forzahorizon3 tb gráficamente un locurote xa la #xboxone original, captura adjunta. 🤯🤯🤯
Solo problemilla de bajada de frames en el bosque outrunero 😜

my ai threat model is meh i need reps if it affects me, the other is i can't wait until ai gets even cheaper - for smb sector i have said a bunch look for all the gear in DC to turnover every 2-3 years, this will create a flood of parts and much lower prices, smb compute goes 10x - maybe it will be 4-5 years - after that things change like industry dynamics #htpc

does anyone know how to even get started setting up a NAS/homelab on my own network

i need some resources because im trying to get into it and i know little about how any of it works

i was thinking of doing debian and putting docker on that, because alot of the things i want to do with it (yt-dlp scheduling, arr suite, file system etc.) have docker instances. Would this be a good setup or would something like Proxmox be easier to learn in the long term

i have a few spare laptops and a couple mini pcs at my disposal

I’m getting extremely close to being able to use a Linux HTPC to replace my AppleTV. I just need a good remote that works with Steam Big Picture mode and I think I’d be happy enough with it. I tried the flirc Skip 1s with flirc usb and it’s so close. I can control my TV, soundbar, Jellyfin, and YouTube with it but I can’t really control Steam meaning I can’t switch apps. Not sure what to try next.

Okay, it is done! The "Living room" PC is now down in the basement. The only signs of it upstairs are the USB hub and an input on my AVR labeled "PC." Not many pictures to show this time since the conduit looks the same externally with before and adding new cables... But hey, that's Bazzite running from downstairs as if it's right there!

Eventually I need to organize the TV stand, but I'm trying to only tackle one project at a time...

Yep, confirmed the HDMI over Fiber cable isn't the problem by plugging one end into my laptop and leaving the other end plugged in to my AVR. I guess I need to find what combination of Bazzite, my Arc A580 GPU, and the cable is causing the problem.

also it's trippy seeing something on the TV and hearing the sound come through the laptop
