I have an old laptop that I want to use to replace the “smart” features on my living room TV. Can anybody recommend a distro and setup which could act like a dashboard / remote control setup?
I want the PC to auto launch to a menu where I can use something like a remote to keep it convenient for lower tech people in my home. Are there remotes controls for this purpose? Distros?
I appreciate any guidance!
Not a distro but maybe Plasma Bigscreen is in the ballpark of what you’re after?
Wow this is actually just what I was looking for.
You should make a post after you get it setup. Plasma big screen is one of those things that’s not quite mature yet.
Going to be a weekend setup for me this weekend. I’ll make a post when it’s running with any weirdness I find.
Cool, however I don’t think your experience is going to be that great as the ecosystem is not mature.
I guess I’ll find out on Monday. Good luck!
Did it work well?
I don’t know, they never got back to me
Oops, I misread your message. It seems I saved the wrong comment.
Love the look of this, thank you for sharing! Surprised I haven’t heard about this before and I’ve been Linux HTPC’ing for years
