Android TV alternative OS for Mi TV Stick? (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone! I want to degoogle my TV box (Mi TV Stick, running Android TV 9), so I'm looking for an alternative OS.

Is there any custom ROM or alternative OS I can flash on it? If not, what's the best way to get as close as possible to a degoogled TV experience (debloating with ADB, alternative launchers, open source apps, etc.)?

I'd also appreciate any hardware recommendations if a different device is a better starting point for this.

Thanks in advance!

Dunno about your setup, requirements and abilities, but you could always use a cheap tiny computer (or some rapsi or the likes) and use Linux. Probably won't do for silly streaming-services like netfucks or disnay-. But would greatly do for jellyfin, emby or Plex. In addition to kodi, if needed. For raspis there's a distribution already pre-made with all of it for this exact purpose.
