Currently I use firetv stick but I hate the ads. I only use it to launch arte, jellyfin and smarttube so it's OK. But if I would have children it would be very bad because it's filled with shiny trash everywhere. I wouldn't want my kids (or anyone) to see that stuff.

I am looking forward to plasma bigscreen in june but I can't add more value to it right now than donating to kde. Is there something else? I've got a Samsung TV which is on the same level of badness as firetv. It could be worse but it's far from good as well

I use Projectivity Launcher on Onn Android box that I got from Walmart for $20. It even has an option to be the default

Projectivy is incredible. I took a while to try it because I didn't have any real problems with Google's launcher besides the ads, but the jellyfin and smarttube integration make it so much better than I realized.

You would have realized it a lot earlier if you had a weak box like mine. Lol. It was chugging so hard on the google main launcher.
