I would love to exit the Roku ecosystem. I don't use any Apple products and I'm not interested in starting.
It's amazing how there are really no open-source products in this category of devices.
Well... People have been doing this with Raspberry Pis and Kodi forever. Add a bluetooth remote and you basically have an open source streaming box. You could even install LineageOS and run all of the android apps you want.
