| Does Apple sell data on what I’m watching to third parties? Linux is not a viable option for TV for the vast majority of users. There are no sit back, remote driven apps for the services they use. |

| JellyFin or Plex. Personally i just use a Linux Mint desktop connected to the TV instead. Web browser for streaming and VLC for downloaded videos. But JellyFin and Plex exist for people who don’t want that. |

Yes, I know the answer is pirating content but that’s a complete paradigm shift compared to what most people are used to. It’s an absolutely enormous extra requirement when you’re suggesting someone switch their TV to Linux. | |

What you want are the Android TV versions, running on Waydroid or an x86 build of Android TV. See my other reply. |
