I have a BRAVIA 4K AE1 android/google TV.

Since a few weeks I observe the following:

If it’s disconnected from the internet for some time, 1 or 2 weeks maybe, it hides all my installed apps. Enabling internet immediately restores everything for a few days.

I tried installing a custom launcher and set it as default launcher - TV still boots into its system launcher.

Any ideas what else to try?

    This is awkward in most living rooms and the remote control sucks. Source: my house, and my job.

    Less awkward, ironically, when using airplay to an appletv.

      Just get one of these and set everything up in a few browser tabs. Either that or use an OS with workspace support and put the different apps you want on separate workspaces.

      In our livingroom, our old laptop runs Arch Linux with GNOME. Jellyfin is on desktop 1, and Firefox is on desktop 2. Firefox runs Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube in separate tabs and switching between all of these is a keyboard shortcut on the above remote. Frankly, it’s simpler than most “smart” TVs I’ve had to work with.
