You could get a SFF PC like the other reply mentioned, and install something like Plasma Bigscreen[1] on it. [1](https://plasma-bigscreen.org/). - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago
Root privileges are just that. It's not a no no. Android is Linux and hopefully one day some OS will be released for mobile devices based off Linux, have sudo and su, have a package manager, bash, init (not systemd), Grub2, various Linux kernels available etc. There are projects like Manjaro ARM, PostmarketOS. But they're just not ready yet. Although, a bit off topic here, I apologize, this project is pretty rad... Source: 12 months ago
There's plasma bigscreen you can try for launching apps https://plasma-bigscreen.org/. Source: 12 months ago
Plasma Bigscreen also looks alright but it's still early on, I plan to try it out eventually so I'll give open-gamepad-ui a try as well when I do. Source: about 1 year ago
There is https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ being worked on which you could theoretically run with steam big picture mode when it's done. Source: over 1 year ago
You might be interested in Plasma Bigscreen. Not sure if there's a TV already in the market or if it's more of a DIY project, but it's worth checking out. Source: over 1 year ago
There's this but maybe it's not what you are looking for since it's not an Android rom and probably has a limited apps ecosystem: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
Yeah, I'd like to try installing JFMP and use it via remote and I was just reading about https://plasma-bigscreen.org (the other user mentioned below). It looks promising and potentially a bit more polished. Apparently you can use a generic USB remote with it as well: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/faq/. Source: over 1 year ago

There is Plasma Bigscreen (https://plasma-bigscreen.org/), but progress is slow, because it is a lot of work. Source: almost 2 years ago
That's probably way out of scope. But there are projects like https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ which uses KDE plasma to give a similar interface. Is it something like this you're looking for? Source: almost 2 years ago
Hmm, for Project -> Documentation on https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ I still get 404. Source: about 2 years ago

From what I know there aren't many options for this use case, and those that I know of (like OSMC or Plasma Bigscreen) all run on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, but not x86/64. I would recommend the same as other commenters: to just use a normal distribution and put something like Kodi on it. You could probably configure the system to automatically start up whatever UI you prefer to make it more seamless. Source: about 2 years ago
Raspberry pi 4 with Plasma Bigscreen installed on a 32gb micro SD card is the way to go for me. Source: over 2 years ago
To sum it up, I think this also is one of the way SD is a dealbreaker and a really important and impactful product of the day. If it succeeds, we could see more companies get into handheld or console, and they also get full control and freedom of choice on the whole software and hardware ecosystem. At this point, even any enthusiast could get the parts himself, find or 3d print a chassis, fine-tune hardware and... Source: over 2 years ago
Is this somewhat like KDE Plasma Bigscreen? It was checking this out a few nights ago but it looks abandoned along with every other TV launcher interface for Linux. Source: over 2 years ago
Use a Raspberry Pi, with Kodi, or even Plasma Bigscreen. I haven't tried the latter myself, but it looks interesting. Source: over 2 years ago

If you're interested in home-rolling a solution, you may consider Plasma Bigscreen with MPV Shim? I'm not really sure how or if that would work, or what the state of Bigscreen is at the moment, but perhaps it's something you could run atop Ubuntu Mate. Source: about 3 years ago
