Vega OS (Amazon)

Vega OS is an operating system developed by Amazon for its newer-model Fire TV devices and smart TVs. The operating system effectively replaces Fire TV OS, which operates on the foundation of Android TV with custom features built and supported by Amazon. Vega OS uses Linux instead, with in-house and third-party apps developed specifically for the platform.

Vega OS supports popular Amazon apps like Prime Video and third-party apps like Netflix, YouTube, Philo, Fubo, Hulu, Disney Plus, Paramount Plus with Showtime, Peacock and HBO Max.
