KDE is developing Plasma Bigscreen, an open-source TV interface built on KDE Plasma and Wayland for smart TVs, HTPCs, and media centers. It supports remote control via CEC, game controllers, and smartphones.

I cannot wait for the updated #PlasmaBigScreen to go public. I am so sick of these "Smart TVs" and spy tools. I've used a mini-PC off and on with Linux on my TV of course with an air-mouse remote, but when guests come to visit it becomes too complicated for them...

I just hope we can save html shortcuts to the carousal wheel for those platforms my normie-guests expect to see (like disney+ & netflix).
