Are there any open source streaming OS? Can I buy a roku, rip it apart, and install my own shit? Or do I get a raspberry pi for this usecase?

Rokus are locked down as hell and they have ads built in, you can't root any of them except for ones on older firmware. Just get a fire stick or plug in a spare PC

Fire sticks are just android so you can root them easily, on a Roku even if you root it then you can't really do anything since the firmware is totally proprietary
