Before HomeAssistant, OpenHab was the undisputed king. I still like them because they let you remotely access you home without having to subscribe to anything or set up any remote access methods

Redmine is the top self-hosted alternative to Jira

I’d open an issue/request here: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/#readme

I set up Debian as my NAS and gaming tower. Drives are paired by capacity in RAID, it uses BTRFS, they are pooled together, and have one LUKS password that unlocks them with the main OS drive.

With Samba share, some podman containers, Tailscale, it does everything I need it to. Since I also use it as a desktop computer, I don’t really have dashboards since I already typically sit in front of it, or can remote desktop in. I occasionally check the health of the drives, and use ECC memory/motherboard

You didn’t specify OS, and most of the good Android ones have been mentioned. But in case you have a GNU/Linux phone, there is also Jogger

Tailscale is not American, it’s Canadian 🍁

The only other one not mentioned I can think of is Pinetime, but it doesn’t do all you want without a phone

Too bad it’s not one compatible with Valetudo, that would make setup easy

We need /c/linux_media_centre!

Mycroft, like Snips, was a company that developed a voice assistant, making their hardware and software open source. Their legacy is carried on by OVOS, with Neon as the commercial partner.

There is no LLM integrated into KDE Plasma Bigscreen, but you are free to (or to not in your case) connect OVOS to one like a self-hosted Ollama + Open WebUI instance or ChatGPT. It does not ship with one by default.

Updated titles to be more clear I mean KDE Plasma

This is an ad disguised as a helpful post

You can connect Ollama and cloud providers like ChatGPT into OVOS/Neon, so that when you ask questions it doesn’t know how to handle, it can respond using the LLM.

OVOS/Neon

I would love if Valve shipped and contributed to Plasma Mobile and Plasma Bigscreen alongside the existing Plasma Desktop. Or even if more Steam Deck users installed it so that it would get more interest.

Consider PikaOS if you like to game, which is based on Debian and provides an easy way to pick you desktop environment. Bazzite may shut down if Fedora gets rid of 32-bit libraries as planned https://wiki.pika-os.com/en/home

Debian with KDE.

Debian because it is (one of) the most established distro(s), stable releases, most distros are based off of it for a reason, you’re not forced to deal with Snap packages (I recommend Flatpak via Flathub, but Appimages and .Deb files are common options too).

KDE gives you that Windows look (other popular one is GNOME if you prefer the MacOS look). It’s the desktop environment people often confuse with as the distro, so don’t go necessarily by how it looks as you can easily change that.

When I was considering what to run, I found LineageOS TV provided the best experience for being able to get all the other TV apps, and even Jackbox Games. Many TV apps offer some content free with ads, which can be taken care of. Android TV interface only shows Android TV apps in the main app drawer though.

I loved Debian with KDE Big Screen on the pi for the customizability. You can run scripts like fetching tv schedules right on it (or you can just do this on your jellyfin server), and generally you have more customizability. I run PWAs as well via Firefox. I found Steam Link difficult to get working unless on Buster or earlier.

For remote, I tried out all the ones on Amazon, and found USB connection to be most reliable, and there’s one that has a keyboard on the reverse, and an option to do voice control from the remote that’s a major 🔑

Been happy with my Purism Librem 14, and soon they’ll have a 16". I think today, I’d probably buy their 11" tablet. Perfect travel size and you don’t need to put it away during takeoff and landing of flights.
