The requirements to make replacement Linux firmware for a TV would be
- A degree in CompSci
- Experience in hardware engineering
- Extensive knowledge of the TV circuitry
- All low level schematics of the TV
- Extensive knowledge of the processor used
- Extensive knowlage of the original firmware and boot process
- Extensive knowledge of embedded Linux systems (most likley Alpine)
- Kernel sources for the TV OS as well as somehow gaining acess to all firmware files
- Extensive knowledge on low level internal TV communication protocols
At that point just make your own smart TV using a commercial display
Absolutely incredible work on the practicality of Rust based drivers
I’ll answer your question right now without beating around this bush, what you are asking is simply impossible. In fact I will take it one step further, not only is your request not possible using your preexisting TV there is no such consumer TV that you can purchase as of now that will just run Linux. Furthermore there is not a single Linux distro as of now designed to run internally inside of TVs (there are distros for set top boxes, not TVs).
Is it possible in theory?
Possibly but until a single confirmed case of a successful Linux installation on a TV is found I will consider this impossible (furthermore the chances that the successful Linux installation occurs on your specific model of TV is slim).

I vastly prefer a durable and hard plastic above a thin mental sheet that bends.
This is what Liberals mean when they say Palestinians should be “liberated from hamas” (regardless of if they know it)

Nyaaaaa im just not cute :3
There are many people who are too scared to come out

kittenzrulz123to Technology@lemmy.world•Google will require developer verification for Android apps outside the Play StoreEnglish10·2 days agoThere are a few key issues with mobile Linux:
- UIs that have simply not gotten any attention
- A severe lack of decent hardware
- Scaled down desktop apps on a phone (seriously who thought this was a good idea)
- No security whatsoever
- Basic features missing or requiring a significant degree of tinkering to get working such as audio or calling

I was referring to Liberals who attack leftists more than fascists but yeah them too
