I'm currently using a mini PC with Arch Linux and the Budgie desktop to display Zabbix dashboards on a couple of 55" TVs in our IT area. It's great, but I'm considering switching to something a bit more user-friendly for the help desk team to use when I'm out on vacation. We're already using Yodeck for slideshows at our manufacturing plant locations, so I want a solution that's simple and doesn't involve additional license fees. Any recommendations?

I've had good experiences with FullPageOS on a Raspberry Pi linked to a TV. It works really well for this kind of setup! Check it out on GitHub if you're curious.
Here are a few solid options for display dashboards:
- Grafana
- Smashing
- Uptime Kuma
I’ve used all of these for large display setups and they work great! If anyone has other suggestions, feel free to share!
Actually, I think DashWizard missed the point. The OP is asking for a user-friendly Linux distro, not dashboarding tools.
I actually know about Grafana already and plan to use it for our existing dashboards eventually.
Have you thought about using a fully kiosk browser? It's tailored for digital signage and is pretty easy to use.
That sounds interesting! I'll look into FullPageOS.
