# Free digital signage player for Linux > Canonical HTML: https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/linux Any Linux PC or mini PC can be a free digital signage screen your AI agent runs. One install line puts the screenRIG Player on Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch. Choose the dedicated-screen option and the PC starts straight into the Player at power-on, ready for your agent to pair. Updated October 27, 2026. > **You:** This PC runs the break room TV. The code on the screen is ABC 234. Call it Break Room PC. > > **Agent:** Paired. Break Room PC is online and ready for content. ## Which Linux runs it The Player runs on Intel and AMD PCs and on 64-bit ARM boards, on these releases: - Debian 13 and Raspberry Pi OS (Trixie) - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or newer, or 25.04 or newer on ARM - Fedora 40 or newer, or 42 or newer on ARM - Arch Linux and Manjaro Older releases, such as Debian 12 or Ubuntu 23.10, need an upgrade first. If the installer stops, it says why in plain words. A normal desktop already has everything else the Player needs. A bare server install needs a few extra packages, which the [Downloads page](https://screenrig.ai/downloads.md#linux-distributions) lists for each distribution. ## Install it One line from the [Downloads page](https://screenrig.ai/downloads.md#linux-quick-install) installs the Player and checks the download as it goes. The script is public, so you can read what it changes before you run it. It adds one self-contained folder and a desktop menu entry, and on Ubuntu a small security profile so web pages and apps can run. Choose the dedicated-screen option and the PC starts the Player at power-on with no desktop. Run the line again to upgrade: your pairing and settings stay. ## Pair it The Player opens full screen on a code. Read it to your agent, as in the chat above. ![The setup screen: PAIRING CODE above an amber plate with the example code ABC 234, then Tell your agent to use screenrig.ai to pair this screen with this code](https://screenrig.ai/static-resources/images/screenshots/landing/devices-linux-pairing-code-4a900774.webp) *What a fresh install shows, on a test screen. The code is the example ABC 234: a real code works once and ends the moment your agent pairs the screen.* ## After a restart or a power cut With the dedicated-screen option, the PC powers on straight into the Player, and the Player starts again within seconds if it ever stops. It plays from the PC's own storage, so a dropped network does not stop it. Your agent can then also restart the PC when it needs to, and switch the display off and on where the display and cable allow it. The [Player guide](https://screenrig.ai/docs/players.md#device-control) lists what a Linux screen reports and controls. ## One PC, two or three displays One Linux Player can drive two or three displays as one wall. A [Raspberry Pi 5](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/raspberry-pi.md) drives two, and an Intel mini PC such as the Quieter 4C drives two or three. Install with the dedicated-screen option plus one small package that the [Player guide](https://screenrig.ai/docs/players.md#video-walls) names, and tell your agent which display is on the left and which is on the right. Each display then shows its number for 20 seconds so you can check the order. ## Get the install line Get the install line and the package list for your distribution from the [Downloads page](https://screenrig.ai/downloads.md#linux-quick-install). ## Related - [Digital Signage Player Apps for Every Screen](https://screenrig.ai/downloads.md): screenRIG is free.
