Points for something I’ve never tried.

Edit: Think I’ll just blast Bazzite on it. The recent Gnome scales well and it has nice performance tweaks.
Cheers

    Linux pretty much just doesn’t work on TV. No streaming platforms have Linux support, unfortunately.

    Bazzite, Chimera, Nobara all have a pretty sweet SteamOS-like distro, if you’re after gaming and have AMD GPU.

      I think you misunderstood, hence the downvotes.

      OP is asking what a good distro is for a media center PC, as in the PC’s video output will be connected to the TV’s video input. At which point Linux does not give two shits.

      Sounds like you thought they wanted to stream/cast via some TV app or something, but that just sounds like a nightmare and I’m not sure that anyone would even want to try to do that. Just run Linux and use the TV as a big monitor, be done with smart TV garbage.

        I didn’t misunderstand anything. The downvotes are just from salty Linux users who think piracy tools are a direct replacement for streaming services.

        A media center is nothing without streaming apps.

          @Ulrich I have an android tablet with an termio on it, basically gives me an x-term with an ssh connection. Can also look around locally. Granted they’ve really screwed up the file system layout, much like Mac fucked up BSD, but it is recognizably Linux.
