Personally, I still prefer Android Auto (i.e. phone projected onto car screen) to Android Automotive (Android built into the car infotainment system). My phone gets way more updates than my car, and it's cheaper to buy a new phone once it stops getting updates.
I have the same sentiment towards smart TVs vs plain old "dumb" TVs + a streamer.

I've been hearing a lot about this Linux thing. Should I switch?
Yes. Try Ubuntu. Some people keep bad mouthing it, but it’s the most approachable one for beginners, which is part of why it’s being criticized.
Use Mint. It's Ubuntu without the corpo BS.
Yeah
Yes, its great
