Is it possivle to debloat a fire tv stick? I.e. remove all amazon related apps and replace the launcher. The info I find online is scattered around and depends on the version.

It’s unsurprising that the information is version dependent, since the manufacturer will be doing everything in their power to prevent their hardware being used for purposes other than envisioned by their marketing team.
The basic process is to determine if the version you have has been modified by the community and then if it is, collect the information specific to your version.
It’s non trivial because not everyone takes copious notes or uses the same methods or processes as anyone else.
You’ll likely find contradictory information and search engine search results have likely been affected by DMCA takedown notices.
In other words, YMMV.
The alternative is to buy something that is already open source and intended to be modified, like a raspberry pi for example.
I’m not too sure. Can a pi play HDR? DV?
A Pi 5 will support HDR.
From what I’ve read, at that price, a NUC is a better value.
I haven’t looked into it, I was just attempting to point out that disembowling a locked up piece of hardware is harder[1] than starting with a clean slate.
But plenty of fun if that’s what you’re interested in. ↩︎
