what's your recommended TV OS? - Lemmy.zip

Currently I use firetv stick but I hate the ads. I only use it to launch arte, jellyfin and smarttube so it’s OK. But if I would have children it would be very bad because it’s filled with shiny trash everywhere. I wouldn’t want my kids (or anyond) to ser that stuff. I am looking forward to plasma bigscreen [https://plasma-bigscreen.org/] but I can’t add more value to it right now than donating to kde. Is there something else? I’ve got a Samsung TV which is on the same level of badness as firetv. It could be worse but it’s far from good as well

I haven’t used it in a couple of years, but I always liked Roku’s platform. Simple to use, easy-to-ignore advertising.

But the last couple years I’ve been on Android with Projectivity Launcher. No ads (except for some times when I’m dumped into the standard front end), customizable.

I have a Roku TV right now. Most of the ads aren’t too bad compared to the Fire tv, but you still get the obnoxious ones that take over the top third of the screen… BUT it’s probably the least aggressive of the ads I’ve seen from different devices, so…
