"Amazon Fire TV devices are convenient, but their interface is among the least user-friendly I've tested. While Amazon has worked to improve its FireOS with frequent updates, the company is reportedly working on releasing a proprietary operating system called Vega OS that could enhance the user experience. This new operating system could be announced as early as next week during the Amazon Devices and Services event, which kicks off Tuesday, September 30."
"Also: Slow Fire TV? 10 settings I changed to dramatically improve the performance Fire OS is built on the Android Open Source Project, while the new Vega OS is based on Linux and built with React Native. The JavaScript-based framework could theoretically simplify application development, yet Amazon reportedly is struggling to get app developers on board with the new system."
Amazon is preparing a proprietary operating system named Vega OS for Fire TV devices. Vega OS is Linux-based and built with React Native, departing from the Android Open Source Project foundation used by FireOS. The company aims to improve the Fire TV user experience and plans to introduce Vega OS on new hardware later this year, possibly announced at the Amazon Devices and Services event. Transitioning to Vega OS requires developers to adopt a different framework, and Amazon faces difficulty persuading app developers to support the platform. Negotiations with publishers and a gradual rollout focused on new devices are expected.
