I’d love to see Linux folks figure out easy ways for consumers to replace the on board OS’s for any TV out there. Can that be done?

The issue usually is proprietary streaming services, not a lot of interest from them on Linux/etc support and the unofficial options are usually kind of janky. That does make total sense but also kills it’s chances of getting wide support / adoption which limits the growth of the projects.

Anti Commercial-AI license

What you missed is how Linux is GPL v2 only, not “or any later version,” which stopped it from gaining the anti-tivoization protections from GPL v3.
