There's a very real opportunity here for an open source project that takes on the task of doing an alternate kernel/distribution/applications for smart TVs. Big job, and likely to take a while before getting caught up with newer SoCs etc. But it's totally doable -- it worked for e.g. OpenWRT on SOHO routers, sat receivers, etc. (what is an OS bulb?)

The main issue that an open source smart TV software distribution would face is DRM.
