I've come to the realisation that boycotting google, completely, is impossible. It works fine on the computer and for some apps on the phone, but it's very difficult for a smart TV

The problem starts at the very beginning. To even start using the tv, I must have a Gmail to log in. I have to have a Gmail/log in to Google to use the Google Store.. Google Store? Yes! Because it's not possible (for me at least) to install f-droid or aurora store. I'm aware of the fact that I can't do everything... But it irks me. Does anybody have any tips for how to get around this? Currently I'm considering getting a hdmi cable and use the tv as a computer monitor... But then we're in the territory of having to buy a lot of new things to boycott. Wich, of course, is also not the best solution.

However, I'll add to this that this irks me. But it's not as big of a problem as buying Russian and American oil and gas.

Quote and picture is from batman begins. I recommend giving it a watch

Setup a raspberry pi as a streaming box. Lots of guides out there.
