> I don't see what the big deal is in installing a chrooted Linux environment (or SSH/RDP client to remote into an external machine) in an Android device

Installing a Linux environment or SSH client on a Fire Stick in a hotel without access to a laptop?

Not familiar with Firesticks- is there an app in their App Store for SSH?

Fire devices just run a flavor of Android, without Google Play Services. Getting SSH on there is trivial, especially when rooted.
I would like to install SSH and root a Fire Stick with my phone. Where should I start?

This would at least give you the ability to install an SSH or RDP client since those don't even require root.
