If I want to avoid connecting my LG smart TV with my network, but I would like to still use a remote with an external device running Jellyfin plugged in via HDMI, what privacy respecting options do I have here? AFAIK, TV sticks run Android and can also collect your data, so my natural guess would be to plug in a device running Linux, but how about remote control?

My Casio A 168 - I like watches and typically I would opt for more expensive ones but I still marvel at the amount of watch you get for this kind of money. The design is great, very comfortable to wear, very precise and has a very good battery lifetime and background light.
Someone else already mentioned a safety Razor.
My iron pan - much healthier, more ecological and will last longer than I will ever live.
Obviously my bike. Saved so much money on it. Although I still need to figure out what I should do with my very rusty chain. Should I replace it?
I also have one which hit break-even years ago compared to thouse Gillette Mach 3 etc ones. I am also using Proraso shaving soap, but for my sensitive skin the red one is the best, followed by white. Started with green and tried it again two months ago, bit it is not as good as the other ones for me.
I did a refresher course two months ago, but I haven’t gotten around to buy a motorcycle yet. But everything is there, I just need the bike. Really looking forward to it. Stay safe!
I would also add that it heavily depends on the setup a user is running. I had been running Arch with XFCE and dwm for years on a machine with a Nvidia card and I can count the number of issues I had which were not induced by my wrong-doing with three fingers. When I switched to Plasma Wayland on my new machine I faced more issues in one and a half years than with my old setup. Also, none of these issues were mentioned on the news section but were due to Plasma updates. There are just too many moving parts under heavy development with such a big DE and Wayland is also not quite 100% there yet, so for some people it can seem like Arch is rather unstable although it still is a heavy generalisation.
I don’t have any slowdowns or freezes. Do you experience this with other distros as well?
I see what you mean. Sometimes I wish I could tinker with it the same way as I was used to with Arch. But in the end, it just works and goes out of my way.
You have complete access to the AUR via Distrobox. Also, how do you conclude that it has “many issues”? I do get that Bazzite might not be for everyone, but please, elaborate.
Bazzite is absolutely great, if you just want a very reliable system that just works and goes out of your way. I lean nowadays way more into recommending Bazzite to new Linux users, since there is literally not much to initially set up, no matter the hardware. Gaming works perfectly fine and any regular users software needs get easily satisfied by the Bazaar.
I second the atomic Fedora ones with Plasma. Very stable system, updates run automatically like she is used to, and the Bazaar software center is a great and well organized central repository for flatpaks.
Wayland is super fast, free of tearing and can handle completely different monitors working together without issues. It is not wayland that makes it unstable, just that there is much more going on development-wise which can cause things to break more easily in a rolling distro. But I also had issues non-related to wayland but with Plasma, for example that after a plasma (and Dolphin) update, my NTFS partition could not be mounted anymore. Using pcmanfm-qt solved it.
Having a distro that tests things more or at least makes it easy to rollback, would help in such situations. When I was a student, these things did not nother me to much. But now with a demanding job, I just don’t want to put too much time on this things anymore.
I am using Vesktop, too. Why do you want to get rid of it?
Definitely not a Krusty Krab
