That's how I handled my "smart" TV - I had a spare minipc from my old homelab, threw Linux on it and plugged it into the HDMI port.

It has never connected to my network, despite the BestBuy employee insisting it would need firmware updates for better picture.

Omg, that reminds me of a time when a retail employee insisted that installing Linux on a particular machine would rock crashing the hard drive. This was, oh, maybe 2006 or so.

I did not buy a new computer that day.
