I can't for the life of me figure out if this is a way to put KDE on my TV by overwriting the existing OS, or if this is something to install on a computer which I then plug my TV into via HDMI.
I'm not being lazy here but I have reviewed this site and outbound links. And, I have reviewed the threads there.
I'm very interested in repurposing my LG Smart TV and have been hesitant about installing a software package on it.
If I brick the TV I'm fearful my kids will burn me at the stake.
I don't see a listed hardware matrix, but do see a link to enter into the matrix server and ask questions. I don't see packages or a repository to add.
I think llms generally produce quite a bit of slop content but I think they could be used to explain open source projects a bit better. This seems like an opportunity.
- evolve2k 7mo agoI could totally wrong, but my assumption is that you’d get a small dedicated box (mini PC) that has an display port/hdmi/lightning port and usb ports and plug that into your TV like you would an Apple TV. A remote control with wifi would work pretty easily by being connected into usb port, just like a wireless mouse. Something like an ASUS NUC comes to mind for me but it’s designed to work with anything that you can install Linux on. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=asus+nuc&_trksid=p4624852.m4084.l1313 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=asus+nuc&_trksid=p46248...
