A guide to turning an Android-based smart TV into a Linux workstation by establishing an ADB connection, gaining root access via Shizuku, and installing the Openbox window manager through Termux. The process is similar to rooting Android phones with some TV-specific quirks around power cycles. The result is functional but limited by older hardware and an aged Android/Linux kernel, making it better suited for expanded entertainment software freedom than a full desktop replacement.
