The $20 Walmart onn-branded box (2021 version) supports LineageOS. Also the Google ADT-3 box, along with other Amlogic devices.

You will have to build a ROM yourself, since Android TV doesn't have an open source launcher, and usually comes embedded with GApps. You can replace the launcher with Leanback On Fire, which is a TV-friendly, open source launcher.
