Onn needs a Google account. Fire stick requires an Amazon account. Apple tv, obviously an Apple account. PS5, Xbox all the same.

Is there a box that will let me stream Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, my own stored media?

Osmc is great for home stuff, but can’t do Hulu Netflix.

I could use a Linux PC, but not as simple as 1 remote for a cheaper box top.

Any suggestions? Or do I just get a Linux host

    I’d love a fairphone, pixle type android tv that I can root and remove all google services from. Shield is where it’s at, but it’s a bit old and even without Google it’s still going to be sending data to them.

      Shield + lineageos seems like it would do the trick

      You can root the Shield, and while it’s older, its more than capable. Better than many new devices.
