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.
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?
Is that available for TVs?

Anything for WebOS (LG TVs)?
I’d suggest:

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

Thanks for the recommendations.
Waydroid emulates Android (in this case AndroidTV) on Linux, allowing you to run Android apps inside your Linux-based OS.
So… not on my TV then?
I haven’t tried it, but NTH on the SmartTube telegram chat recommended https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos

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