I don’t know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can’t install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don’t have any ads. However, the Youtube app has. I highly doubt there is any way to remove those, but if you guys know or found any, can you let me know?
Thanks.

Get yourself a small pc like a intel nuc and use it instead
I already have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB of RAM lying around. Can I somehow connect it to the TV and use it via the TV remote? If so, what OS would I need to install to it, and what software would I use?
LibreELEC with a FLIRC dongle and a cheapo infrared remote. If you have any bluetooth console controllers laying around, you can use those too so long as they have good Linux support. There’s Kodi addons for popular streaming services and LibreELEC also offers an SFTP addon in case you want a local media server setup instead.
Kodi
People around here like to pretend Netflix, Hulu and the like don’t exist. A HTPC will be neither user-friendly or remotely good quality in this fashion. Most programs will be limited to 720p if you use linux. No you cannot control it with a remote, you’ll need a keyboard and mouse.
