I want software on my TV.
Steam Link specifically. I like streaming to my TV via Ethernet.
You can do that with a Raspberry Pi for <$100 and without the need to have Amazon/Google/Roku/whoever tf else collecting your data.
Really? Is there a name for finding guides to such wizardry?
Who says I let Amazon/Google/Roku/whoeverTfElse collect my data?
I have my TV isolated to its own network and allow inputs from LAN, so i can use Steam Link and Jellyfin just fine.
So get a device that can do that. You didn't need a piece of software that will never see an update to do this.
It's funny that you think smart TVs don't receive updates. It's got a wifi chip for a reason.
Tvs can last 20 years you'll be lucky to get 2 years of updates
My TV isn't going to update because it's been lobotomized.
