This is maybe a little paranoid but... i have a jellyfin server that i let some family members use. one of them intends to use an app for apple tv, which i think is swiftfin or something like that. i am a bit skeptical about smart-TVs and the data they phone home with, so i was wondering if there is any chance that i could be compromised due to the linux isos i host on jellyfin due to some sneaky smart-TV stuff?

Should be fine; I've used swiftfin on iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV) for literal years and the copyright police haven't shown up.

Ok thanks! The price of not really knowing how things work is apparently paranoia cries in technical illiteracy

Nothing wrong with asking a question, especially when you're talking about devices that are notorious for sending every scrap of data they can gather to everywhere. (Looking at you, Roku.)
