Good day! I am trying to find a good alternative as not to use the"smart" functions or using an Xbox to consume our media. I found a few options ie like plasma big screen but it's no longer in development. Essentially I would line love to have it running on an rpi4 and just hooked up to the TV.

I find having the full OS is useful, and this KDE environment proves great https://plasma-bigscreen.org/

As of right now, Plasma Bigscreen isn't available for public use yet.

Thanks for reminding about this project! Had a look a year back and it looked quite green at the time. Any first hand experience, how did you install it?

This looks cool but having the shell feel good on a TV is one thing, having apps is another. If I open Firefox on theat thing, am I going to see the same app as I do on desktop... only 10 feet away? I immediately asked this after I saw VS Code in the screenshot there because what is the point in having an accessible 10 foot UI to use it to launch an app where I won't be able to read the menus and navigate around in an accustomed fashion?
