What are some TV specific Linux distros? What are your experiences with them? (slrpnk.net)

I'm considering replacing my Nvidia Shield in the future and plan to build a small TV box as its replacement. I'm curious about what operating systems people typically use for these types of TV-specific devices, as well as which desktop environments are preferred. Is KDE or GNOME better optimized for use on TVs?

I have been eyeing it for a while, does anybody know what media playback looks like with this?

I use CoreELEC on an Odroid N2+ and I'm wondering if all the media playback works like 4k60 HEVC, 4k60 VP9 and HDR playback.

I haven't actually used it either, just came upon it as a possible replacement for Libreelec/Kodi. It looks interesting, but a full Linux DE might be too much for my home theatre needs.
