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.

Do people actually want this?

Nope. Just like those stupid hard coded buttons on my Roku remote that I have never used.

I think it's those stupid hard coded buttons on my remote that I accidentally press every so often then have to repeatedly try and back/exit out of the stupid thing it launched that I cannot remove/uninstall from my tv.

Super glue, or pliers and super glue.

If you can figure out how to get the remote open, you'll probably find that the buttons are all part of the same flexible rubbery insert (unless it's 10+ years old). Put a little tape on the bottoms of the ones causing you problems. The insulation should keep them from working, and it's 100% reversible if you ever do find a use for them.

If it's one of the older, more expensive remotes with individual switches, then, yeah, pliers and superglue. 😅

And it just needs to load a hasty scribbled overloaded UI that takes forever to load with no content because you don't have an account and/or are not connected to wifi.
