Amazon goes all-in on Vega OS for Fire TV devices (Android based Fire OS media streamer’s days are numbered)

Amazon has released two new Fire TV Sticks in the past two years… and both have shipped with a Linux-based operating system called Vega OS rather than the Android-based Fire OS that Amazon had been using since the company released the first Fire TV Stick more than a decade ago.

While Amazon says the Fire TV Stick 4K Select (2025) and Fire TV HD (2026) are small, cost-effective devices that […]

EN: I found an old Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet in my things - it's old, but surprisingly works. Unfortunately it's got factory terrible Fire OS...

I looked a little and found that people convert 8th generations & newer ones to Lineage OS, but I've got 7th gen.

I'd like to move it to working OS, but don't want to brick it & have limited knowledge. Would you recommend any conversions or not risk it? Or should Lineage work?

Znalazłem w szafie stary tablet Amazon Fire HD 8 - ma wieki, nawet działa, tylko że operuje na fatalnym i ograniczonym Fire OS.

Poszukałem pobieżnie porad i widzę, że od 8 generacji ludzie przerzucają je na Lineage OS - tylko ja mam w ręku 7 generację. Chciałbym go przerzucić na działający OS, ale nie chcę zrobić z niego cegły, a sam nie bardzo się znam - czy polecacie jakieś konwersje, czy lepiej nie próbować? Czy Lineage może zadziałać?

Amazon is escalating its war on Fire TV apps used for piracy. Last year it started blocking sideloaded apps that had been blacklisted from launching. Now you can't even install those apps on Fire TV devices in the first place. https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tvs-now-block-piracy-apps-on-installation-instead-of-at-launch/ #AmazonFireTV #FireOS #FireTV #Piracy #MediaStreamers

Fire TVs now block piracy apps on installation, instead of at launch

Amazon has been slowly evolving its app blocking process ever since it was revealed that piracy apps would be blacklisted on Fire TV devices last year. Users first began seeing warning messages when launching apps that Amazon believed contained unlicensed content, but the apps were allowed to open.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Fire OS Twitch app fucking sucks.
