Thanks for mentioning KDE Plasma Big Screen it's an interesting attempt. It's written in Qt, like many of the TV UIs today anyway. I need to check it out.

Yeah, I'm thinking of trying it out once my fan less N100 box arrives from china. Should have much better AV1 performance and subtitle rendering performance than my Google TV.

I had a "fun" experience the other month with my Google TV where it was refusing to connect to my Jellyfin server. Turns out Google hasn't updated the HTTPS CAs in over 2 years, and it was no longer compatible with the latest Let's Encrypt X2 certificates which was announced back in 2020. Android TV has some good apps, but it is a software, ads, and security nightmare.
