LinuxTV turns any old computer into a full smart TV experience. Just flash it onto a drive, plug it into your PC, and you're ready to go. No setup, no installation, no hassle.

Got an old laptop or desktop collecting dust? Instead of throwing it away, give it a second life as a smart TV. LinuxTV helps reduce e-waste by making outdated hardware useful again.

Watch YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, Kodi, and dozens more, all from a big, clean home screen designed for your TV. You're not locked into any app store or ecosystem. Add whatever you want, watch whatever you want. Your setup, your rules.

Control everything from your phone with the LinuxTV Remote app. Navigate, type, browse, launch apps, and even shut down the system — all from the couch. No keyboard or mouse needed.

LinuxTV is a free, open-source alternative to expensive smart TVs and streaming boxes. If you have a screen and an old PC, you already have everything you need.
