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.

Not a distro but maybe Plasma Bigscreen is in the ballpark of what you're after?
Wow this is actually just what I was looking for.
You should make a post after you get it setup. Plasma big screen is one of those things that's not quite mature yet.
Going to be a weekend setup for me this weekend. I'll make a post when it's running with any weirdness I find.
Cool, however I don't think your experience is going to be that great as the ecosystem is not mature.
I guess I'll find out on Monday. Good luck!
Did it work well?
I don't know, they never got back to me
Oops, I misread your message. It seems I saved the wrong comment.
Love the look of this, thank you for sharing! Surprised I haven't heard about this before and I've been Linux HTPC'ing for years
