I don’t want to use Osmc or LibreELEC. What I’m going for is something like Android TV (tried using LineageOS but that didn’t work out for me).

I was interested in something like Plasma Bigscreen but most of the tutorial is about 4 years old and point to using an old image.

I installed the Debian package. After that, I logged in and set Automatic login, and switch the session to Plasma Bigscreen (x11). After applying and a reboot, it launched Plasma Bigscreen but some widgets (like the audio, KDE Connect) froze when clicking on them.

What do you recommend? I prefer to use a Raspberry Pi.

    I tried Kodi in the past but switched over to Emby. Not 100% sure if there is an Emby plugin but the wife and kids are use to the Emby interface.

    Plasma Bigscreen looks very cool but spent time trying to figure out why some of the widgets on the main screen loads up then freeze. Like the Mycroft widget, for example.

    Also trying to figure out why apps like Kate appears twice under Applications.

    I have not tried Bliss OS. Looks very interesting so I will take a look. Thank you for that one.

      We’ve so much in common! I had a skin working that made Kodi look just like an emby app or webpage

      There is an emby addon that uses your server to keep track of profiles and stuff. It’s actually pretty sweet to get it set up.
