I have a “smart” TV. It wouldn’t let me get past setup until I put it on wifi, so I spun up a hotspot, then immediately killed it and just plugged in a micro PC running Linux to the HDMI port.

Occasionally, I’ll sit on the remote and a pop up happens saying I’ll need to connect to the Internet for <feature> to work, but that’s about it.
