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!

    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!

              Oops, I misread your message. It seems I saved the wrong comment.
