I’m looking for a combination of gaming and streaming on a smart TV. Because I don’t want the smart TV to connect to the internet and show ads or use AI companions, I’m looking for alternatives. Since small PCs are a good alternative to streaming boxes, I’m wondering, whether SteamOS can also do that? Or is it better to have two separate devices?
If your only streaming “service” is Jellyfin, there is Switchfin, a client that was originally developed for rooted Nintendo Switch that has a pretty good controller-first interface. And once added in Steam, using it is pretty straightforward.
