I spend the last couple weeks looking Into modded boxes and anti ad options and I came to the conclusion that a mini pc with wireless keyboard and mouse is the way to go. No special nonsense required. It's super easy to just find whatever I wanna watch online for free anyways and I don't need any special program or knowledge.
Now my next issue is between finding a dumb TV or a solid affordable projector. I mostly use the TV for movie nights anyways, I game on my pc and watch most stuff on my pc too.
The main problem with a mini PC is a lot of streaming services won't serve you 4k content. Not an issue if you get your content from other sources though.

Yeah I'm leaning that direction but I'm also quite attracted to whatever the newest raspberry pi can do.
Mini PC might be easier but yeah I think either way a sbc will be my choice whether it's a Ryzen sbc or something else like a raspberry pi I'm honestly not sure.
Can state for a fact it won't be any amazon or roku device but that's about all.
