From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE has an interesting project that lines up with this. Unfortunately I'm not too sure how progress is. Plasma Bigscreen
it's very much not any good at all
It was hit or miss for me too. I remember is looking good and navigating well, but apps didn't work. What were pain points for you?
The apps for sure, Navigation was fine a bit buggy but somewhat usable, but apps were janky at best, the YT thing just felt like a crappy gimmick
I think a better launcher would help a lot, I've seen quite a few promissing ones, and even forked one with the intent on making it a better TV launcher experience when I find the time.
the main thing missing then would be a full screen compositor and an app switcher, I actually have a couple ideas i've been playing with, apps support hurts, but I plan on making a custom waydroid launcher eventually too
