I absolutely loathe my LG smart TV. Just switching to another input requires 3 button press.

I hope someone uses their free time to hack the OS and offer a clean and simple interface to make it a “dumb” TV.

I’m unaware of any projects trying to make a dumb tv, but I like the idea. You can start with rootmy.tv and research from there.

You're not wrong, but you could ask your favorite LLM to interact with the LG API's to switch the input for you. At least for my case, it was ~10 minutes of work to develop a small tray app that looks for a specific USB device and switches the TV input if it gets inserted. I don't really even touch the remote anymore
