Take any old computer (It doesn't matter how old or slow that it is, it just needs to post)
Install Linux on it
plug it into a tv
use a wireless mouse/keyboard

You now have something better than Roku will ever make.

I setup Kodi recently. It was somewhat of a project but definitely worth it.

Jellyfin is also worth it.

Been using Jellyfin for a bit now. Kind of a jank setup (Rπ hooked up to separate NAS) but it's way better than Synology's built in media app and the Roku based one. One of these days I'll have a "proper" selfhosted setup.

Since Telstra bricked my perfectly good Telstra TV powered by Roku, I want nothing to do with Roku products again.
