LinuxTV is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for computers connected to a television. Rather than booting into a conventional desktop environment, it starts with a fullscreen launcher intended to be viewed and controlled from across a room.

I am not and never have been a developer. I have it on top of a N100 mini PC with Fedora KDE Plasma. It runs fine, looks good. Just missing those native apps.

I also got KDE with Fedora on a beelink specifically to try big picture six months ago, but the homepage said it wasn't yet for general use, and you had to be a developer to use it. How did you install it?

It's in the repositories. sudo dnf install plasma-bigscreen

It's in Arch and Nix repositories as well I think.
