Nope, and probably never will be.
Roku TVs have signed boot and boot loaders, and the attack surface is so small, they haven’t had a public root exploit in about a decade (edit: there was one in 2021 I missed.)
Google TV is just Android TV, complete with reusing Android chips and Android Secure Boot.
The other manufacturers might have more weaknesses (perhaps webOS would be more open), but it’s very vendor and board specific.
So the question: A. Who can reliably defeat secure boot; B. Who wants to write Linux drivers for every TV ever sold?, and C. Who wants custom firmware if you well never get 4K or 1080p because the DRM isn’t happy?
