Before I buy another Roku, are there any options for a streaming box/stick that run FOSS? A foss derivitive of android TV would be nice if that exists, ideally preloaded on an inexpensive and compact piece of hardware.

So if I get a Firestick, I can connect it to a machine running Linux and sideload apps like that? (Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I’ve never used a Firestick but I’ve been contemplating ways to mirror content from a Linux PC to my smart TV)
No, you turn off apps from unknown sources, then you download Downloader. You can then use Downloader to download apps from any internet url. You can do this all from the Firestick’s home screen.
Here is a sample tutorial:

Thanks, I will look into it. I appreciate the link. Cheers!
