From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Luckily your Philips smart TV can become an unconnected TV that's only connected to a NUC, raspberry pi, or other similar computer, running linux.
Yes that would probably be the project if my wife didn’t want to keep her Netflix subscription😅
For now, I’m giving up on the open source smart TV as I also don’t want to impose too much on my family.
Next TV would probably be a dumb TV or a Linux one though.
