Giving my Roku box a 2nd life

Does anyone know if it is possible to take a Roku box, wipe it and install something else on it? I was thinking LibreElec, something else Kodi-ish or even just stock android.

Not sure of details, but I think Roku are extremely limited in hardware department

Yeah, it has video decoding hardware and a CPU just powerful enough to download a single video stream. My buttcheeks move faster during a fart than a Roku’s CPU
