Does it work on LED TVs or does it have to be plasma?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Plasma Big Screen" is just a stupid name for a large format UI for TVs.

And Plasma is part of their general branding too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Plasma

Cooool! ☺️☺️

I'll have to try it again at some point. I really like my setup with gnome but as a UI nerd I'm super excited for there to be a dedicated TV interface

Nice. I will have to give it a try again. I don't rightly remember what happened. Sometime last November December I went to give it a try but could not get it built from the Aur. I think part of it was that it had just been picked back up. And what was in the Aur was mostly the older plasma 5 build.

Is it available to test? Last I tried it was a closed beta

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

According to their website, KDE Neon ships with a beta version. It also looks like it will be part of the Plasma 6.7 release next month ish

Can this be installed as a second DE on an existing install? Like right now I have cachy OS handled edition installed on a pc and is connected to my basement tv. Is it possible to split this into steam big picture mode AND plasma TV? That would be actually great
