What is recommended for a TV box?

I have tried google/android TV but the ads are everywhere and I don't trust google not to track everything.

I have tried a raspberry pi running Kodi but it's not very good for anything except jellyfin. I still want to view streaming services on occasion.

My next attempt will be an apple TV but i don't trust apple and despise their walled garden.

I would like something FOSS and optimized for TV viewing. I thought about using a linux OS and using the browser for streaming, but it does not look good from the sofa and requires a keyboard mouse.

So what do you recommend?
