I think that your goals would best be filled by installing Ubuntu
Desktop. It's already suited to your needs and wants for a Smart TV.
How is that? Ubuntu Desktop doesn't provide a very good TV experience by
default. If I want to send an email while watching TV, why should I have
to replace the operating system in order to do so?
Of course, I am able to do all these things as it is by setting up
Synergy for keyboard and mouse, and Anyremote to control the desktop,
playback, etc, then adding plugins for Compiz or replacing the window
manager with something else. But I don't think things like sending an
occasional email or listening to music should be for geeks only. I think
Ubuntu TV users should be able to use Ubuntu, and not just some small
subset of weblets or something. But I don't think you should display
emails and stuff like that when you're watching TV.
Obviously, Ubuntu Desktop users should also be allowed to install Ubuntu
TV if they want to.
In general though, I don't think we need to make Ubuntu TV into Ubuntu
Desktop, largely because we don't need to make TVs behave like
computers. We already have computers for that. Smart TV isn't about
turning TVs into computers, it's about providing more content from
intelligent sources to the TV. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_TV
Ok. It's not like I haven't used those kinds of systems before, you
know. They've been around for a while. You do agree that Ubuntu TV has
to be an extension of Ubuntu Desktop, though?
