@pak0st@fosstodon.org There is a "task manager" view to show running applications that is accessible from an indicator when apps are running!
The UI still needs some work though, and in theory, most users will probably also use only one app at a time.

@shanmukhateja@social.linux.pizza Thank you!
I think the question is more if we can get a distribution running on Fire TV sticks, which doesn't seem to be the case just yet: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
However, any sort of computer that can run a modern Linux distribution and can connect to a TV is fair game!

@jan@social.dytrych.cloud
@jan@social.dytrych.cloud It's not yet released as part of Plasma so it won't be packaged on distributions just yet. However, you can either build it manually, or install postmarketOS and set it up with their nightly repo: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nightly
(and install the plasma-bigscreen package)

@justin@toot.io Yes, there already is a Bigscreen remote plugin built into KDE Connect!
Last month, I spent about a week working on Plasma Bigscreen, hoping to get it back in Plasma releases again!
Read about it on my blog: https://espi.dev/posts/2025/07/plasma-bigscreen/
