Comment on is there a set top media player that doesn't require an online account?

Thing is a trooper, but it’s definitely annoying having such a large object in my living room. I’m using GNOME so I’m not sure if KDE Connect would work for me. I wouldn’t mind a smartphone solution if it worked reliably though.

I’m pretty sure you can install KDE Connect on GNOME, but it doesn’t have full functionality. Sending keystrokes and mouse input should be fine though.

I’ll look into it thanks. I ran the apt command on Debian and was intimidated by how many dependencies were required. Might try it on a test machine first.

Yeah when you install one KDE component it tries to install the entire DE by default as “recommended” dependencies. There’s a flag for apt that tells it to only install necessary dependencies and not also the optional recommended ones.
