alt Hacker News"Plasma" is an awkward name for a television app. First image that comes to mind is the old plasma 50-inch I used to have. Damn thing weighed nearly 100 pounds and was really power-hungry.

Yes! I still use my Panasonic 50" plasma as my daily driver. I still love it, it's an amazing TV :D

I loved my Plasma TV.
Bought it as an intern dirt cheap off of some dude at my company who posted it in a email group. He upgraded to the latest and greatest and just wanted it hauled out. Picture quality (for the time) was incredible!
It also doubled as the worlds best space heater. My god it was power hungry.
“Plasma” isn’t the name of the television app. It’s “Big Screen”.
“Plasma” just refers to the desktop environment: https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/
So this is a “Big Screen” UI for KDE Plasma.
