Replace Android TV with Linux? - General Questions and Answers

I have a "smart" television from Kogan that runs Android TV and to be honest, I've hated it since Day One... Android TV is rubbish in more ways than I care to count, which is why I never use the "Android TV" side of my "smart" television.
So perhaps I can make it more useful...
Is there a way I can replace Android TV with a Linux-based operating system (ideally Ubuntu, but I'm not fussed either way)?
The television I have is a "Kogan KALED55KU8000SZA 55-inch Smart TV", which the Google Play Store (on the Web) refers to as an "MStar Android TV" from "MStar Semiconductor". It runs Android TV 5.1.1.

Android OS (not Android TV) on an Android Stick

Hello,
I am looking for a cheap Android stick which runs Android 11 or 12 (not Android TV but the normal Android meant for phones/tablets). All the Android sticks on Alibaba seem to run only Android TV OS.
There were such products way back in 2014, have a look at this link https://www.laptopmag.com/android-sticks. However I am unable to find any products now, looked on Alibaba, Amazon etc. I found 1 product on Alibaba but it runs Android 4 Kitkat. I am looking for Android 11/12.
Or is there a way to flash normal Android on Android TV boxes?
