    Howdy y'all, I'm currently using an Amazon firestick on my living room TV, (running Wolf Launcher, Jellyfin, and SmartTube) but I'm considering upgrading to something more privacy friendly. Especially since Amazon is starting to crack down on "Side Loading" installing my own damn software. The most open alternative seems to be an android TV box, but Google is walling up the android garden more heavily now too. On the software side of things, I need something that: Is remote controllable Won't harvest my data Let's me install what I want Specifically will run the 3 programs I use. Jellyfin, SmartTube, and Kanopy. On the hardware side of things, I'm pretty open, whether that be a rasberry pi, or a modified android TV box (provided I can flash an OS that isn't infected with Google). Has anyone else done anything like this? Steaming devices all seem like locked down, data harvesters, which just so happen to also show you movies.
