What’s the best alternative? I have a fire cube, and I’m getting sick of it. Apple TV? Is there a FOSS solution that’s close to the same quality interface?

My vizio tv auto plays shows, ads, and light music if you leave it idling too long after you turn it on. Moving the remote down just once disables it till the next time your on home screen.
Won't hurt my feelings to throw their shit tv right in the trash.
Guess it's time to either flash my Roku with something that isn't shit or just make a dedicated media box myself.
thank goodness pi hole can block the majority of roku ad sources
