After all the issues with software updates, ads, and just overall terrible experience of TV operating systems and those little media boxes, I just finally accepted that my life is better using my TV as a dumb screen that's connected to a PC and then using Steam Big Picture for games and Jellyfin for media.
I've been doing this for a decade.
Highly recommend it. The only thing some people don't like is using a keyboard and mouse on the couch, but there are endless solutions for that.
Actually...that's the sticking point at my house. I'm ok with mouse keyboard, but my wife and kids are not.
Still trying to find a remote that will suit that use case.
I've heard good things about the PS5 Media Remote, which pairs via bluetooth. If my generic bluetooth remote dies that is my replacement plan.
