The smart stuff Samsung TVs try to do can be absolutely maddening. At some point about 6 (maybe 12) months ago, Samsung pushed an update to my TV that broke its ability to display HDMI output from a Linux machine. Like, literally just take standard HDMI output from a Linux machine and display it. This is especially enraging to me because 95% of what I used that TV for is as a display for my steam deck! Well, not anymore. I can't even use it with my laptop because it has the same problem. So now the TV just sits there and collects dust and reminds me never to buy a Samsung TV again. It's a real shame too, because other than the software, it's a great TV. I would buy a Samsung dumb TV in a heartbeat.
