  • Is plasma big screen really an option? Id like to install it on a desktop to act as a android tv. Launch Stremio, YT and maybe one or two other apps/websites. Easy big tile navigation with remote (flirc).

    It’s in dev since 2020. The images hosted on the site are bit for any of my hardware. It says theres a Debian package. Installed that though LMDE but it was horrible. Somone mentioned Kububtu can install it with apt, but its not listed. Think I’ll give up.


  • My limited knowledge and time force me to certain distros. Some of my stuff only works on EOS, others only on Mint.

    It’s easier to install another distro than spend another hour troubleshooting. I know “just read the wiki” but sometimes we don’t have the skills, imagine a neckbeard trying to “just have a shower, and get out the basement”.

    It makes it even more tempting to move back to Windows where I can just plug and play. But I’m forcing myself not to. … Well that and Win11 isn’t supported.

    And re things not working. I’ll not even a gamer with special hardware. Just use it for web browsing and citrix for WFH.






  • For me it’s the wiki. Arch just explaining so simply. Searching an issue for LMDE just lead to forums. And the Debian or Ubuntu wikis don’t seem as good as arch.

    Plus must searches for <other distro> issue seem to lead to forums and random “run this code”. All arch searches led back to the Wiki. All hail the wiki.

    But srsly. I feel like I’m LEARNING Linux with arch. Rather than just running fixes for the other distros.
