What TV-friendly apps can I use on Bazzite for YouTube and streaming?
Asked by

I'm planning to install Bazzite on an upgraded OptiPlex 3020 for game emulation and as a replacement for my smart TV's operating system. I'd like a TV-style interface with large icons and controller-friendly navigation for services such as YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video. Ideally, the apps should support 1080p playback and be easy to launch from Bazzite. What software or setup would work best?

KDE Plasma Bigscreen may be worth investigating. It provides a TV-oriented interface designed for navigating apps from a distance, so it could pair well with a Bazzite-based living-room setup.

Kodi is another option. It provides a ten-foot-style interface and can organize media and add-ons in a way that feels more like a TV operating system. However, support and maximum resolution for commercial streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video can vary, so it may not provide the same experience as their official apps.
