"Vega, the OS to replace Android, has been built in-house and is based on Linux. It's designed to run across a wide variety of devices and relies on React Native as its application framework. This allows developers to build native apps with JavaScript, with the added benefit that these apps run across a variety of other TV operating systems as well."
"Amazon changed the wording of the job listing to remove references to Vega after being contacted for this story, and declined to comment. An official announcement could happen as early as next Tuesday, when Amazon is scheduled to unveil its fall devices lineup at a press event in New York, according to two sources with knowledge of the company's plans."
Amazon will replace Android on Fire TV devices with an in-house Linux-based operating system called Vega, with a TV streaming hardware launch planned before year-end. An engineering leadership role is recruiting to build Vega OS and indicated an app launching in 2025, with opportunities to shape product direction and team culture. Vega is designed to run across many device types and uses React Native as its application framework, enabling developers to write native JavaScript apps that can run across multiple TV operating systems. Amazon has used a forked Android for Fire TV since 2014 and has been working toward this transition for years.
