9 days agoI was just trying to get this working as well. I connected to my TV using KDE and audio came through, but I didn’t find any sort of screen mirroring. I’m not sure how up to date the info is, but I did read that KDE Connect comes with Miracast built in, so if you have access to that it should be an option.
Unfortunately, my TV is an old 2018 Samsung 4k, so I have no access to Miracast to check, so I didn’t dive far enough into it to know for sure. My solution is probably just going to be setting up a Raspberry Pi media build to the TV.
I second this. A bare-min install of a majority of distros is going to do you more favors than looking for a distro that is made to be minimal. Honestly, minimal is going to rely more on your DE/WM than distro.
I also agree that Arch is going to require more learning curve if you don’t have any experience with it, but that’s up to you if you want to put time into it. If you do, I’d recommend vanilla Arch or if you want a GUI installer with a lot of DE/WM options then I’d opt for EndeavourOS.
I concur with Void, but that also may have a learning curve. I like Void, but I haven’t tried it myself. I hear nothing but good about Fedora and openSUSE these days, too. I played with NixOS and I really like it, but you will spend months messing with Nixlang before you can really do anything with it (but its really fun to play with).
