I mean, the amazon of enterprise is not the amazon of product manufacturing, Linux doesn't get usually mentioned in product applications so??
Also, sorry late reply :b

Well, how would an average streaming user benefit from using linux to begin with? Most streaming apps are avaliable on G-Play Store with DRM for the mass adoption of the platform on both Mobile & TV-Boxes and to "lower" any sort of software expoit to extract media; yet offical support for them on linux is mostly limited to chrome(ium) & firefox with drm enabled.
Yes, anything amazon gonna do for customers are very likely to be locked down but it doesn't seem sensi?le of amazon to adopt linux just to make it useless
Unless amazon are gonna make a browserOS like chromeOS & rely on PWAs there's little to no benefit on the switch other than lowering power consumption... (atleast for the avarage user)
Etheramazon is after smh else with linux (AWS?? another amazon linux??) or next-gen firesticks are gonna be multi-purposed as linux desktop and be able to run more software, media & games (anything but more lockdown).
the article take about speculations; but an amazon-based distro for say, playing amazon prime games, optimised for amazon luna & run snaps & flatpaks is something that they would be actually into, if it profitable, and adaptable to mass medium of users...
edit: flatpaks
So more ppl are re-purposing old, legacy win7 machines despite security risk...
Completely clueless about anything linux or floss in that matter wether even if there where lighter distros with better hardware support & enough apps for everyday office needs & more.
Like win7 can't even run any UWP apps, photoshop or steam anymore.
It's great livin' in 2025
