my TV incurred my wrath by having the gall to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.

so I promptly cut its balls off. (disabled the internet entirely). now it is a dumb TV. and it behaves like a TV. and not an ad machine.

But what device do you use to stream? That's the dilemma I'm in, streaming sticks and devices are all so spammy.

Join the darkside, and run something like a Raspberry Pi with Kodi, and/or Plex, etc.

The dark side is warm!

LibreELEC is basically a Linux distro with Kodi and installing it in one of those (or quite a number of supported similar boards, such as Orange Pis) should be the easiest way to "join the darkside".
