alt Hacker NewsI wonder if it is possible to install a standard Linux distro on LG TVs. There is KDE Plasma Bigscreen for a TV-like experience on such distros.
If not, there are some webOS exploits on this wiki page:

Hopefully the Vizio lawsuit will mean the right to repair software comes to TVs more easily.

I would love to have this at home on one of the random boxes lying around. But is there a way yet to play Netflix &co in hd ?

You can absolutely jailbreak them and install whatever

Click ‘Install’ on Plasma Bigscreen page -> oops, here's a notice that you can't use it. What's the point? Why not at least suggest instructions for a dev/testing/at-your-own-risk build?
I saw that rootmy.tv works for some versions of webos.
