I’ve been working on de-advertising myself as much as possible, and one of the big vectors left is a fire TV I got for cheap during black Friday. I hate the fire TV operating system, and would much rather have something lighter weight.
I haven’t heard about many Smart TV projects, so I don’t know if they exist or how usable they are, but I figured I would start exploring here. Are there any open source OSes that replace the ones baked into televisions? If so, how much would I “lose” by switching to them.
