From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What are my OS options if I wanted to disconnect my TV from the internet, use it's remote via CEC with a Raspberry Pi, and watch Plex, Jellyfin and YouTube (with sponsorblock)? (startrek.website)

I tried Kodi with Libelec but it's still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just "thinks" forever and I need to get up and unplug it.

I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don't have a release yet.

Are there any other options?

Android TV is FOSS, but given Google's recent announcement I wouldn't take it's future openness for granted.

That said, I think it's the best FOSS OS for TVs.

Thanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I'm currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.
