vice.com —
Amazon is reportedly planning to replace its Android-based Fire OS on Fire TVs with a new Linux-based operating system called Vega OS. This shift could significantly alter the user experience. Tech journalist Janko Roettgers reports Amazon is courting major publishers to bring their apps to Vega OS, suggesting a transition is underway. This move follows recent changes to the Fire TV platform, including the removal of app deletion options. The potential change comes as Amazon has been adjusting its Fire TV platform, and could impact the device's user interface and overall functionality. The future of the Fire TV experience remains uncertain.
