Plasma Bigscreen is a software project from KDE which contains an interface optimized for Smart TVs, set-top boxes, and other computers such as the Raspberry Pi or Xiaomi TV Box, which can be connected to large displays.
Software
The desktop environment was initially based on KDE Plasma 5, but is planned for future distribution with KDE Plasma 6.. It has also been ported to KDE Frameworks 6 and Qt6 to give support for Plasma 6 libraries, with some compatibility still for Plasma 5 as of March 2026. Voice control was provided through integration with Mycroft AI, but was obsoleted by late 2024. Plasma Bigscreen supports HDMI-CEC. == Availability ==
Availability
Plasma Bigscreen is available as a KDE Neon-based image, or installable on postmarketOS. In early 2025, it was marked as not available due to inactivity; however, active development resumed later that year. As of March 2026, developers were targeting a release date to coincide with KDE Plasma 6.7, so that Plasma Bigscreen could be made more widely available through other KDE-based distribution repositories. == See also ==
