"Titan OS is the European, independent Linux-based smart TV operating system from Titan OS S.L, the technology, entertainment, and advertising company based in Barcelona."

Also :

"Titan OS operates on a Chromium browser, offering support for standard audio and video codecs, streaming protocols, and DRM options"

I don't watch TV, but have a non-smart Samsung hooked up to a laptop running Linux. I wonder how locked down or hackable this OS would be? Would an EU based system be better for privacy? I'd love to have a better option for when I update the "TV" I have in my living room.

The OS itself is not FOSS or even available without a partnership, the apps are all online websites, and running your own apps requires going through their partner portal. So don't get your hopes up.

GPLv2 means at the very least kernel sources must be available on demand for any buyer of a TV shipped with this OS

Which is the reason only Linux kernel survives nowadays in such platforms.

Additionally there is an increasing number of embedded OSes alternatives with permissive licenses, meaning eventually not even the Linux kernel will be taken into account.

Being able.to examine the kernel is of little value in the tivoization described.
