I too have a large LG, but it is never connected to my network. Instead is connected to my nvidia shield that is locked in a old version, 9 I think. Pihole blocks the shield.
PlasmaOS TV (?) will be the OS I'll be installing as soon as is released
plasma bigscreen, and actually it had a release already! doesn't have its own distro, but some include it already. I think fedora kde has it installed by default.
that's the name yes, but from what I've found so far cannot be used on my shield model, mdarcy
update: so the problem is that linux cannot even boot on it yet
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nvidia_Shield_TV_Pro_2019_(nvidia-mdarcy)
if that's fixed, it will probably need graphics drivers to be found at least, wireless drivers, and whatever for the remote but possibly that would already work at least partially.
you mean nvidia shield? can it run any kind of alternative OS though? maybe custom android roms, but rather I mean even just a basic linux distro, or PostmarketOS.
You can pry my rooted C8 from my cold dead hands
