I am still using a dumb LG TV from the before times, and love it. I fear the day that I need to replace it.

I have an old “smart” Vizio TV from like 2012 (?) that has outlasted 2 new 4k smart TVs. I’ll stick with this guy till it pops

There are still dumb TVs, they just cost the same as a smart TV.

I have an old laptop with Linux Mint hooked to my TV. Firefox with some bookmarks to different streaming services, Freetube with subscriptions, sunshine/moonlight to my gaming PC and emulators to play some retro adventures with my kids. I remote controll it with KDE Connect from my phone. Works great!
I used to fiddle with Kodi on a Raspberry Pi, but the laptop is so simple and easy to set up, I don’t see myself going back.

You don’t even need a laptop for all of this, you can use your phone.

I stream games with it all the time.

My phone doesn’t have HDMI, I don’t know how to share the screen with my TV. Plus I have an USB drive with a lot of movies attached to the computer.

You can plug one of these things into the USB-C port of your phone and it basically turns it into a little PC.

Edit: My phone is old and was cheap, so I use an active USB-C to Hdmi converter.

I would use a smart tv if it ran entirely on a raspberry pi compute module that I provide running only software I explicitly installed on it (like an intigrated computer only with a raspberry pi).

I have my Google TV in apps only mode. If Google can still see that I pirate literally everything I watch, and circumvent YouTube ads with it then, well, maybe it sends a message.
