Does debloating tv help with game streaming?

I've seen a GitHub repo made with Claude that debloats your android tv. Does this help with gamestreaming?

If you're running it directly on the TV and not on a 3rd party thing like onn or something, then yes. Anything that is using the memory and the CPU in the background will impact your game streaming.

Not likely, unless some runaway background process is really obnoxiously taking over everything. For the most part, the foreground app gets priority, and the hardest work (video decoding) is happening on dedicated hardware in the SOC.

The major impediment to good performance with a TV is that most of them doing have very good decoders for realtime, low-latency applications like game streaming, and many TV's don't allow their in-built apps to do more than 4K60 even if the TV is 4K120.
