IMO there's no great answer but this is the best one.

Yeah, this is a tough one if I ever have a kid. The reason I still use shitty WhatsApp is because every single relative and friend outside of the US uses it. The ultimate privacy isn't worth being alone and losing those connections to me.

Also kids are mean, I could totally see them treating the kid with the weird app poorly just for doing so.

Surprised they wouldn't wait until the new house is seated to do this? Glad it came from a Republican at least.

Seems like everyone else understood so idk dude

I forsee the bubble deflating rather than a pop

That sounds like a great approach actually. I'd probably even have it default to Plasma big screen for the wife with an option to switch to Steam big picture.

Thanks, yeah this seems to mostly confirm my suspicions. I wasn't familiar with vacuumtube but a bunch have mentioned it here so it seems promising. I think my partner would mainly just care about Jellyfin and sometimes YouTube, and then maybe the browser will cover other bases. Thanks for the write up.

This is great, thanks for the write up!

How's the navigation of something like YouTube in the browser with a remote? This is another curiosity of mine

How's the web navigation with a TV controller?

What makes you want to change to Plasma Bigscreen? I said it in another comment but one big attraction to SteamOS and/or the Machine is the low power idle state, like a regular console or streamer. Curious how other distros handle this.

That's okay my server is another machine.
