Is anyone running https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ yet?

[–] commander@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It'll be packaged up in plasma 6.7, I think mid June. Then it'll be easy for distros to make it available. I want to try it but I don't want to change distro or build it myself. When 6.7 rolls out, I got my computer plugged into my TV with CachyOS handheld edition. Right when Plasma 6.7 is available in the Arch repos, I'm installing it

Somehow, it appears to already be packaged for fedora, I already tried it and it looks extremely promising while still being in beta.

From https://plasma-bigscreen.org/get/

Plasma Bigscreen is not yet widely available.

We are planning to join the Plasma release schedule starting with Plasma 6.7 (in June), which will make it possible for distributions to ship it in their repositories.

In June, so almost!

want to. Got a rpi5 sitting waiting but too many other projects ahead of it.

I did try android TV on it. it was utter horse shit, so I'm hopeful for pbs.

I've got Android TV on a Rpi5 and it works fine. It does have some bloat but it gets the job done.

playing anything 4k makes it too choppy for my taste. even 2k has issues.
