Brad Linder<p>By year's end Amazon could release its first smart TV powered by the Linux-based Vega OS already used for some Echo devices rather than the Android-based Fire OS that it's used up until now. Major apps should be supported, but apps from smaller devs could be left behind. <a href="https://www.lowpass.cc/p/amazon-vega-os-2025-release-kepler-sdk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">lowpass.cc/p/amazon-vega-os-20</span><span class="invisible">25-release-kepler-sdk</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireTV</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Vega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vega</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireOS</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>Based on the number of pageviews this 2023 article has gotten this week, I have a pretty good guess for what present a lot of folks unpacked this week... only to experience moderate annoyance that Amazon tablets don't have the Google Play Store pre-installed. <a href="https://buff.ly/4fBDWWr" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/4fBDWWr</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmazonFireMax11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonFireMax11</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GooglePlayStore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GooglePlayStore</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireTablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireTablet</span></a></p>
Brad Linder<p>Amazon's Fire TV devices currently run an Android-based operating system called Fire OS, but it looks like Amazon plans to transition to a new OS (probably the Vega OS we've been hearing about). Fire tablets will likely remain unaffected (for now). <a href="https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-job-listing-confirms-that-fire-tv-is-dropping-android-based-fire-os/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aftvnews.com/amazon-job-listin</span><span class="invisible">g-confirms-that-fire-tv-is-dropping-android-based-fire-os/</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/VegaOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VegaOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmazonFireTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonFireTV</span></a></p>

Brad Linder<p>Amazon is blocking sideloading of apps on at least some Fire tablets, but according to AFTVnews it's most likely a mistake that should be corrected soon. <a href="https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tablets-mistakenly-block-sideloading-apps/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-table</span><span class="invisible">ts-mistakenly-block-sideloading-apps/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireTablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireTablet</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AmazonFireTablet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonFireTablet</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FireOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FireOS</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/sideloading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sideloading</span></a></p>
