From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My nearest way is using my steam controller but isn't comfy to navigate Netflix or other streaming websites.

I use https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Smartphones-Mac-Black/dp/B07T13GLY3 (Not the best battery or connectivity but seems to be the best option I've found so far)

With a dell wyse mini PC with Gnome.

Kodi for local nas video and Stremio for streaming. (Note stremio is giving me issues on Ubuntu, it worked fine on fedora)

Gnome is great for TV use. I can have kodi, Stremio, Firefox, steam etc on different workspace and switch between easily. Or even just have them on the same work space and alt tab... Using the alt tab coverflow gnome extension makes it feel like android or something.
