Outside of SteamOS idk if Linux (not Android) had slick console/SmartTV-like DEs/system-wide GUIs. But since the problem is on the surface, I believe there are some who tried, or configured/themed their environment to act like it. kde-bigscreen is available, and has that sort of ui, but does require some setup. Also don't know how available it is. I believe it is already in some repos.

I have the feeling so many people are super enthusiastic about it, it will be a matter of months after it's included in regular KDE that someone will make a "Linux TV" distro centered around plasma bigscreen while minimizing setup complexity, aimed at using it for TV only... And there's some (quiet) rumours that steam might be interested in using KDE bigscreen on the steam machine...
