Good day! I am trying to find a good alternative as not to use the"smart" functions or using an Xbox to consume our media. I found a few options ie like plasma big screen but it’s no longer in development. Essentially I would line love to have it running on an rpi4 and just hooked up to the TV.
I’m using it for years now to control the laptop from my couch? And it works great.
Except the UI is not designed for that. I want a TV interface that is controllable via a remote either physical or virtual. I’m not going to try and deal a full desktop. If it takes me more than a few seconds to do something that’s way to long.
KDE Connect has a remote feature for presentations. Maybe one can create a small interface/ WM for it?
For example, Niri WM, configured with just left, right, and laserpointer as confirmation button. Based on uBlue, so it updates itself. Does that sound practical?
