I’m looking for a combination of gaming and streaming on a smart TV. Because I don’t want the smart TV to connect to the internet and show ads or use AI companions, I’m looking for alternatives. Since small PCs are a good alternative to streaming boxes, I’m wondering, whether SteamOS can also do that? Or is it better to have two separate devices?

    I wonder if the work on waydroid for the steam frame will translate into being able to easily run Android apps like SmartTube from big picture mode.

    Edit: Apparently there is an unofficial waydroid installer, and it adds all Android apps to the big picture mode UI. So I would just install that and use the Android TV Jellyfin app and SmartTube.

    Abandon “legal” streaming, it doesn’t work because of DRM.
