I have a Samsung "smart" TV. I keep it disconnected from the Internet entirely. If it connects it's horribly slow to use, not to mention the data collection, etc... switching inputs would take 30 seconds. Infuriating.
Yeah I bought a $300 amd Chromebook and run Linux on it. Had to flash a new efi firmware to make it fully usable though. Worst part of it is the soldered 8gb of RAM but it works for my usage.
