There's a couple of different OSs that are based around Linux and Kodi. You can use steam big picture mode and an Xbox controller. You can add non steam apps and browser links. You can install Android TV in Windows.

Android TV is what I'm trying to escape ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks for the suggestions, I guess I'll look around for a pre-configured Kodi setup, people say that can be good.

I did give plasma bigscreen a try, but overall it seems to be not working well on straight x86 hardware, it's intended for ARM devices mostly it seems.
