Exactly what I've been looking for too, and have come up wanting. I got excited recently about finding KDE Plasma Big Screen, but then it falls at the last hurdle on the app selection.

That gave me abandoned vibes when I looked into it. Maybe they just didn't update anything on their site but I struggled to find any recent info or reviews on it. A shame honestly. I loved the idea.

Looks like it was released in 2022, and I haven't been following the development but the github looks like it has changes as recent as two weeks ago. I had just assumed that the lack of apps is primarily the big streaming content providers not opting to allow apps on an OS without a shitload of telemetry because it's not in their interest.
