KDE is developing Plasma Bigscreen, an open-source TV interface built on KDE Plasma and Wayland for smart TVs, HTPCs, and media centers. It supports remote control via CEC, game controllers, and smartphones.

Ooh, it looks like Plasma Bigscreen is aiming for (re-)release with the Plasma 6.7 update in June 2026.
- How many of you have your #steamdeck connected to your large screen TV?
- If so, what are you guys using for #peripherals?
- do you also occasionally switch to steam's desktop mode for internet shizz? What resolution tweaks have you used to make text more readable on a TV?
- this is probably also an #htpc question, and probably #FilthyCasual
Cc @gamingonlinux if willing, can u boost for viz?
Apologies in advance for the hashtag spam 😈
Voy a finiquitar tb el #forzahorizon4 😇 q ya sestá instalando en el #htpc q aunque lo tengo físico xa la #xboxone voy a darle en algo mas gordo (tb lo instalé en la #steamdeck 😜).
X cierto el #forzahorizon3 tb gráficamente un locurote xa la #xboxone original, captura adjunta. 🤯🤯🤯
Solo problemilla de bajada de frames en el bosque outrunero 😜
my ai threat model is meh i need reps if it affects me, the other is i can't wait until ai gets even cheaper - for smb sector i have said a bunch look for all the gear in DC to turnover every 2-3 years, this will create a flood of parts and much lower prices, smb compute goes 10x - maybe it will be 4-5 years - after that things change like industry dynamics #htpc

does anyone know how to even get started setting up a NAS/homelab on my own network
i need some resources because im trying to get into it and i know little about how any of it works
i was thinking of doing debian and putting docker on that, because alot of the things i want to do with it (yt-dlp scheduling, arr suite, file system etc.) have docker instances. Would this be a good setup or would something like Proxmox be easier to learn in the long term
i have a few spare laptops and a couple mini pcs at my disposal
I’m getting extremely close to being able to use a Linux HTPC to replace my AppleTV. I just need a good remote that works with Steam Big Picture mode and I think I’d be happy enough with it. I tried the flirc Skip 1s with flirc usb and it’s so close. I can control my TV, soundbar, Jellyfin, and YouTube with it but I can’t really control Steam meaning I can’t switch apps. Not sure what to try next.

Okay, it is done! The "Living room" PC is now down in the basement. The only signs of it upstairs are the USB hub and an input on my AVR labeled "PC." Not many pictures to show this time since the conduit looks the same externally with before and adding new cables... But hey, that's Bazzite running from downstairs as if it's right there!
Eventually I need to organize the TV stand, but I'm trying to only tackle one project at a time...
Yep, confirmed the HDMI over Fiber cable isn't the problem by plugging one end into my laptop and leaving the other end plugged in to my AVR. I guess I need to find what combination of Bazzite, my Arc A580 GPU, and the cable is causing the problem.
also it's trippy seeing something on the TV and hearing the sound come through the laptop
Whether I get this working and move the HTPC to the basement or not, I did have a thought: I should make a folder on my NAS for my YARG song collection, then point the game to that share. That way I can add to it from another PC instead of having to use a mouse and keyboard on my living room floor.
I'm taking a break to calm down right now, but this might be a good idea in the future..
It snowed today, so I skipped out on going to a cover band playing in town. Instead I got YARG set up on my HTPC running Bazzite and confirmed the game can load new custom songs. I also fumbled through configuring my guitar controller and confirmed it works. Currently I'm downloading a copy of my Rock Band 3 DLC to this PC, then I'm going to scan the songs in and have fun!
I may just switch to this "Yet Another Rhythm Game" thing in the future. My gaming PC/HTPC is still technically running Win10 whenever I power it back on... When I stop putting off choosing a Linux distro for gaming and set it up, it looks like I should be set to use it for this purpose. It looks like I should be able to use my official Rock Band DLC and customs with minimal conversions as well?
@agowa338 @rasteri @ActionRetro @TechTangents but then again I also have to deal with like "super tight systems" like @fuchsiii 's "#HTPC" / #Pizzabox that has front-loading, trayless SATA-#SSD|s and a #DVD-RW in one bay.
Has anyone setup an #HTPC with #Bazzite to act as a living room replacement for something like an Apple TV. There is really only 4 streaming apps I use and I think they can be PWA. Jellyfin has to be a first class app on there as well as Stremio currently. Be interested to hear if anyone is running something similar. I don't have any intention of gaming on it but bootc feels right for an appliance type device.
I use #Windows11 on all of my #HTPC’s but it looks like Microsoft broke HDR a few months back.
Anybody have any idea how I could get this working again?
It’s driving me nuts.
@fuchsiii @littlefox maybe you need to embrace your inner #weeb woth your next PC build
After all, that machine isn't as complicated to build as your #WindowsXP "#Pizzabox" aka. #HTPC build.
Hacia unas semanas q no usaba el #portatiltocho™️ (xa meter en un pendrive la actualización de la bios del #htpc ) y joder, como mola tener un #portatitocho™️
A mi q me flipan las cosas portatiles, con pantallitas, es como el santo grial 🤣🤣🤣
Quiero usar uno de mis portátiles viejunos xq necesito winxp xo podria virtualizarlo sin problemas... Decisiones... 🤔🤣
