      Does it have any content?

      Joking aside, I’ve found like 2 PeerTube channels to follow. People, give me your recommendations. And don’t just list the channel name, be nice and write a few words about what its about.

        Shifter and Oh the Urbanity! are on https://video.canadiancivil.com/ . They are both fairly well-known Canadian Youtubers making videos about biking and urbanism.

        Veronica Explains annnnnnd that’s about it.

        it’s a shame that I have to keep using youtube to get good linux content as I thought there would be plenty of it on peertube. nope, can’t find it.

          Veronica is excellent.

          Linux User Space have a thing over there, though sadly it looks like they are a bit slow to upload stuff, compared to youtube (understandable) https://tilvids.com/c/linuxuserspace_channel/videos

        I have mostly German tech/gaming channels there, but I’m also open to new stuff.

            I’d suggest:

            https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/

            Or

            https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ + https://cachyos.org/ + https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steammachine + https://github.com/supechicken/waydroid-androidtv-builds

              Big no thank you to anything Nvidia. Plasma Bigscreen doesn’t seem production-ready yet, by the looks of its web site. Either way, that would require me to get a PC and run its output to my TV, right? I’m unfortunately not considering that option right now.

              CachyOS, Steam Machine, I already have a beast Arch Linux PC that I game on, so that’s not necessary. But what about that Waydroid business? Would I flash that on to my LG TV and run that as its OS or what is that about? All of these github projects that people link to do such a terrible job of explaining what it is exactly that they offer, and what to do with them.

              Thanks for the recommendations.

            I haven’t tried it, but NTH on the SmartTube telegram chat recommended https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos

              Would that allow me to log in to my YouTube account, watch my curated recommendations, thousands-of-items Watch Later list, watch shorts, etc, just without ads?

        We definitely need to develop apps for TVs. YouTube has a great advantage because it is there by default.
