Is there a way to de-google a smart TV? (feddit.org)

I have an older Sony TV which has (what I can only guess to be) Google's Android TV app installed on it. I'm sick of getting new recommendations from Amazon and Disney+ and all those services. Is there a way to strip it down bare bones and get everything I need from another app repo - kinda like with Graphene vs Android?

do you have to set it up yourself or does it come pre-configured? i ask cause i just got out of setting up my own server and as a non-tech native, it was EXHAUSTING (rewarding, yes - but time intensive).

You can setup Kodi using libreelec but setting up YouTube and Netflix and all is a bit of work, not as much as setting up a server but it's definitely not plug and play entirely. Once it's set up tho it just works.
