I’m considering replacing my Nvidia Shield in the future and plan to build a small TV box as its replacement. I’m curious about what operating systems people typically use for these types of TV-specific devices, as well as which desktop environments are preferred. Is KDE or GNOME better optimized for use on TVs?

I use Linux mint, then use advanced emulation launcher to launch things that kodi doesn’t have but I want to use, like ESDE. Its a pain to remember custom thing I setup on it but I used to use the official kodi os (before the stopped it quite a few years ago)
