Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.

That said it should be great for finding collected editions.

Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?

I've been impressed with F-Droid's press releases. If they have a snowball's chance in hell of stopping this, they are certainly giving it a clear and concise effort.

Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn't work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

You're saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

I mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.

Thanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I'm currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.

Oh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV "apps" but without ads and more private.

EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.

 

I tried Kodi with Libelec but it's still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just "thinks" forever and I need to get up and unplug it.

I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don't have a release yet.

Are there any other options?

I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

Haven't tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.
