I’m considering replacing my Nvidia Shield in the future and plan to build a small TV box as its replacement. I’m curious about what operating systems people typically use for these types of TV-specific devices, as well as which desktop environments are preferred. Is KDE or GNOME better optimized for use on TVs?
I haven’t actually used it either, just came upon it as a possible replacement for Libreelec/Kodi. It looks interesting, but a full Linux DE might be too much for my home theatre needs.
