They had 6 months of testing with release candidates, although you are not entirely wrong there are bound to be bugs still. Plus this release is almost entirely DB related refactoring, so you are not wrong about the maturity side either.

That’s just what you get when you fork a codebase with no care about code quality (hopefully after this it will be in a good place).

I had lots of problems with the previous version when turning the TV off/on while it’s running, like losing keyboard access (no focus) until you use the mouse at least once and it updating the display settings every time. Hope it’s getting better now.

TBH the keyboard focus issue is happening on most Login Managers and DEs, so it’s not really their fault. I will try it out some time, until then I keep using my SteamOS install.

Depending on your TV it might not be enough. I’ve set it up, but my TV decides my PC doesn’t have CEC because it only starts responding after boot, not immediately.
