New Windows is bloated with the stuff I don’t want to see as well.
A bloated setup provided by the store or carrier might be an apt analogy, but a phone running AOSP or a fork of it such as Graphene is better compared to Linux.
How many smart TVs have you seen running AOSP? Zero? Yeah, me too.
I was speaking about handsets. You can install AOSP on an SBC connected to your TV which is what I would do rather than use whatever is built into a TV.
Yeah, I always ignore the TV’s smart interface and just use a set top box. Haven’t tried rolling my pan with AOSP yet, Apple TV is good enough.
