From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm so excited for this to officially release. As soon as plasma bigscreen is ready and waydroid has an android tv build, I'll probably replace my nvidia shield.
Do you have any more information on the waydroid android tv build? Very interested in that.
Currently someone has a an unofficial build. As far as I can tell, there are no plans to implement this or something similar upstream. https://github.com/supechicken/waydroid-androidtv-build
why waydroid? (interested in your plan here)
bc there are a lot of android tv apps that are fantastic that don't have ready alternatives on Linux for htpc usage. Clipious comes to mind, for instance. Having android tv apps available through Waydroid bridges the gap in functionality until native alternatives can replace them.
