Plasma Bigscreen rises from the dead with a better UI
Another KDE project, Plasma Bigscreen, is back from the dead with a much better UI spread across the entire shell.
It used to provide a simple launcher for apps and custom "Mycroft Skills" before development stalled, causing most distributions to drop it. A lot of the settings modules (KCM) used hardcoded layouts, so Devin built a small component library for TV-focused UIs and ported everything over. For anyone who wants to test this out, you can do as Devin did by installing Plasma Bigscreen on a Raspberry Pi using postmarketOS, though you would have to compile it yourself or pull from the nightly repos to get the latest changes.
