I personally wouldn’t connect any new tv to the internet. I use a Roku and while they’re also collecting and selling this data, I try to just keep it so the least amount of companies are getting the data to sell.
I’ve been thinking about making a streaming box with a raspberry pi but haven’t gotten around to it yet
Honestly after W11 went full retard I put Mint on an old laptop and use that as my TV's "streaming" box. Works great with the caveat that you never know what hardware works with Linux so test with a bootable live USB image before wiping your hard drive.
For me with a 5+ year old Dell Inspiron laptop the video, sound, wifi and USB drivers all worked out of the box which I was surprised by.
That hasn't really been a problem since like 2010, you'd have to buy something really exotic for it to not work on lunix nowadays.
Speaking from personal experience, modern linux still has a lot of issues with graphics and audio.
The fuck it isn't still a problem. If you shop carefully you can easily get a totally compatible system but there's still a ton of hardware (especially OEM specific hardware, doubly so for laptops) that has zero or limited compatibility.
All hardware works with Linux. You just fixated on something you heard about sound cards in 2002.
Bullshit it does, I've been working with UNIX, Linux and PCs since before your mama's pimp's condom broke.
Uh huh.
