Are there any custom roms/setup to make a fire tv faster and safer?

Edit: I own a Firestick and a Fire Tv and they are getting slower with the last updates and obviously I don’t want to throw them away

    So just to put this out there. I’ve been testing single-board-computers running Android and Linux and streaming multiple IPTV streams at the same time and the Fire TV (I have the 4K Max) beats the Raspberry Pi 4, Odroid N2 + & Intel NUC 7 i5 CPU w/ Intel GPU). I know that they’re cheap as hell but they actually perform better in my specific use case than other Android or Linux platforms. I can stream 5 or 6 1080 IPTV streams simultaneously on the Fire TV, while 3 or 4 is the max on the others.

    I think people can flash Kodi over the standard Firestick os. On an offhand note, Flirc makes an accessory for the Firestick to allow universal remote control

    Edit. I see you mentioned Fire TV. I’m guessing that’s something different than a Firestick
