It seems that Amazon has plans on ditching the Android on the Fire OS for a Linux-based one. According to Lowpass's journalist Janko Roettgers, Amazon has been working on an alternative OS for years. “Amazon’s new operating system is also based on a flavor of Linux, and is using a more web-forward application model. Vega, the codename of Amazon's work-in-progress OS, is a web-forward OS for smart home devices. This means Amazon's Fire TV sticks and tablets, Echo Show and other devices that use the Fire OS may be changed soon. Roettgers also stated that Amazon is heading to split with Android for all their new devices as Vega is designed to run on different systems.
