I have been rather unhappy with my smart TV’s functionality as I feel it isn’t smart for me but smart for the manufacturers. I just can’t use it how I want to. I would love to overwrite the existing OS from Android to Linux. I’ve recently converted from Windows and loving Mint.
I haven’t read too much regarding Linux smart tvs as my searches mostly come up with raspberry Pi and overwriting an Android box. I don’t want to connect anything and just want my tv to boot up in Linux when it’s turned on, and get some of my apps going. Is there a way to do this?
For reference I have a Sony Bravia with Android installed on it.
As the other person said, use the version of Bazzite that defaults to the SteamUI (it’s what I use on my media center). I think it’s called Bazzite-Deck
But what are you trying to compile? You just need Steam, gamescope, and pass it some parameters to boot directly to BPM: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam#Big_Picture_Mode_.28with_a_Display_Manager.29
