How’s HDMI-CEC support in Linux? Pulled directly from KDE Plasma’s Bigscreen website. Multiple Input Methods Navigate with your TV remote via CEC, a game controller, a keyboard and mouse, or even your phone via KDE Connect. plasma-bigscreen.org

I searched for what HDMI-CEC but it’s not very clear to me. Does it mean that, say, if I have an HTPC, and if I run Kodi, I can control it with a regular TV remote? Should this thing be on a TV too? Would appreciate someone with the supported devices to comment how it works and how you use it.

Doesn’t work. Not a Linux issue. No graphics card or motherboard maker connects the hardware correctly to support CEC on PCs. It’s an industry-wide practice. There is the pulse eight injector which together with software can inject CEC with a USB connection with the caveat it can’t turn your computer on and it’s a hacky and imperfect solution for tinkerers rather than production ready equipment. Also it’s only HDMI 2.0 not 2.1.

I use LibreElec which is a Linux distro of sorts. It has CEC that works for me
