I’m considering replacing my Nvidia Shield in the future and plan to build a small TV box as its replacement. I’m curious about what operating systems people typically use for these types of TV-specific devices, as well as which desktop environments are preferred. Is KDE or GNOME better optimized for use on TVs?
Since I was lazy to set up plasma big screen I just have regular arch installed on my old laptop and connected to TV through HDMI.
I don’t have remote device, but with kdeconnect I can control the mouse, keyboard and run commands.
And with browser most web app will work. I don’t have a fancy app lunchers that give the TV vibe, or screensavers.
Am I missing anything?
