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.[1][2][3][4]

Software

The desktop environment was initially based on KDE Plasma 5, but is planned for future distribution with KDE Plasma 6.[5][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.[7] Voice control was provided through integration with Mycroft AI, but was obsoleted by late 2024.[8] Plasma Bigscreen supports HDMI-CEC.[9]

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;[10] 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.[6]
