TL;DR

Amazon is reportedly developing its own Linux-based operating system, codenamed 'Vega', to replace Android on its Fire TVs, smart displays, and other non-tablet devices. The new OS is expected to ship on Fire TVs early next year and will utilize React Native as an application framework. Amazon aims to reduce its reliance on Android and create a unified platform across all its devices.
