Currently I use firetv stick but I hate the ads. I only use it to launch arte, jellyfin and smarttube so it’s OK. But if I would have children it would be very bad because it’s filled with shiny trash everywhere. I wouldn’t want my kids (or anyone) to see that stuff.

I am looking forward to plasma bigscreen in june but I can’t add more value to it right now than donating to kde. Is there something else? I’ve got a Samsung TV which is on the same level of badness as firetv. It could be worse but it’s far from good as well

    Bazzite has been a fantastic living room gaming PC for me. Even when I have to switch to desktop mode I can still control the mouse and type using the on screen keyboard. I can count on one hand the times I’ve used a mouse and keyboard in the past year and most of those times it was just because it was more convenient for what I was doing.

    That said I’m still excited about Plasma Bigscreen for an always on media watching device that allows me to unplug my TV from the network.

      Yeah, Bazzite is great for anyone already using Steam. My main personal reason for not using Bazzite is the fact that Steam can’t be easily uninstalled.
