Just to use any apps on the tv you need an account and I absolutely hate the interface layout. I am wondering if I had a small pc or a raspberry pi of some kind if there is some kind of open source software that serves basically as a fire stick or Roku when installed on a device. Firesticks and Rokus get the job done fine I suppose I’ve used them before but I had this idea and I think it sounds like a fun project anyway. Looking for any recommendations. I’d want to be able to leave it plugged into the tv and have remote support just the same as if using the tv like normal too if anyone has any ideas on that.
