I have been a long time Plasma Mobile contributor, but I have always had a keen interest in having Linux on my TV! I have noticed that in the past few months, the Plasma Bigscreen project has had some interest from people wanting to contribute, but there have not been any active KDE developers working on the project. Since I have some time off school (having just graduated university), I decided to take a swing at improving the project for a week.
Glad to see some work being done on Plasma Bigscreen, I recently discussed TV UIs a bit with a friend of mine who currently does a lot of their gaming on a TV and will probably switch that computer to Linux when Windows 10 support ends.
You might consider checking out Flex Launcher. I’m using it as a lightweight launcher for my gaming PC. Controller support works well, just needs to be enabled in the config file.
