Fire OS is basically a skin on android. Basically the same as the google tv except with amazon preferences.
You pretty much have to treat the tv as you would a phone. Feels laggy after a while? Settings clear cache on apps or restart tv.
The google variant at least has apps only mode which gets rids of recommendations and only displays the apps you installed. Makes the tv snappier.

I'm enmeshed in Apple's ecosystem so maybe a bit biased, but for me I'm plugging an Apple TV box into any tv and using that over the stock os. I buy the tv for the panel alone and could care less about the os.

You can install a custom homescreen/launcher onto fire tvs. Similar to apps only mode on Google TVs.

Need to grab Launcher Manager Mini from here and a launcher such as Wolf Launcher, LeanbackOnFire (linked below) or Projectivy

I'd get a seperate TV stick/box and just plug it into the TV and use it instead. You can set it up so the single remote for the stick turns the TV on/off and does everything so its easy. This way you're not tied to the built in TV OS.
Sorry to hear that
I'm not even enmeshed with Apple, but as someone that can't stand a laggy, clunky interface, I require an Apple TV as well.

thanks for the info! I'm decently technologically savvy but I haven't owned any fire TVs. did read many complaints about my moms tv after the fact but it had just come out so I had too much hope I guess. I do sideload firesticks with IPTV service and bee TV etc. But even with cleaning cache and keeping it not bogged down with too many apps etc it still randomly would switch inputs etc. Thanks again for the info to all responders!

are apple TVs as restricted as their phones?? Paying for almost all apps and them having a limited app store along with way too much control/power I haven't like apple phones at all when I've tried them
