Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?

I have a “smart TV” and I plug it into my receiver and use it as a monitor. I use the term smart TV that way, because it is more than 10 years old when TVs were just starting to have these features. I should also point out that the receiver does all of the spying that the TV isn’t doing. Not sure what I’ll do when the TV dies.

Similar for me. I have an old Philips “smart” (actually today it is very dumb as basically all services are disabled and all apps heavily outdated) TV which I occasionally use for watching TV, but most times I use the attached Raspberry Pi with Kodi for watching public German Mediathek, Youtube or Amazon Prime.
