Amazon's effort to ditch Android on Fire TV may be taking shape
The new software based on Linux is supposedly codenamed 'Vega.'
Amazon is ditching Android on Fire TV and is in the process of developing its own operating system, as revealed by a recent job listing. The potential hire is expected to implement features during the transition from FOS/Android to native/Rust and React Native, with Rust likely being the backbone of the future Amazon Fire TV OS. The job details strongly hint that the recruit will be overhauling Fire TV's OS, swapping out Android for a new in-house operating system.
