Changes:
- moves from Mycroft to OVOS
- "mycroft" is no longer optional and it's integration is enabled by default
- Remove MycroftSkillInstaller (not OVOS compliant)
- Remove "Recent" section
- Remove generic "Applications" section
- Add "Media" section
- Add "Network" section
- Add "Graphics" section
### Voice Control
Bigscreen supports OpenVoiceOS, a free and open-source voice assistant that can be run completely decentralized on your own server.
Download new apps (aka skills) for your Bigscreen or add your own ones for others to enjoy.
### Remote control your TV via CEC
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a standard to control devices over HDMI.
Use your normal TV remote control, or a RC with built-in microphone for voice control and optional mouse simulation.
### Application Launcher
Bigscreen replaces your DE, to stop an application from showing up you can edit `/etc/xdg/applications-blacklistrc`
Adding new applications only requires a [.desktop file](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html)
see [plasma-bigscreen/bigscreen-image-settings](https://invent.kde.org/plasma-bigscreen/bigscreen-image-settings) for more settings you might want to tweak in a Bigscreen image
