The geekiest of the operating systems is branching out into entertainment. Ubuntu TV is the open-source answer to your living room setup, and you could have a TV running the software by the end of the year.
Ubuntu TV is a TV-optimised version of the desktop OS, based around the Unity UI. It features a full-on media centre and DVR features, including movie, TV and music stores and a YouTube app. The idea is to make the OS free for manufacturers to package with their TVs, and Ubuntu says there will be TVs on shelves by the end of the year.
There’s a working Ubuntu TV at CES, so more details and comment to follow. [PC Pro]
