That’s basically my setup, lol. Except the laptop is just old but otherwise intact.
Boots into OpenBox with some custom startup scripts to auto launch a fullscreen browser to my Emby server, a little python daemon I wrote to control various things (screen on/off, volume, etc) via MQTT, and some webhooks from Emby to tie it into my HomeAssistant.
All my DVD/BR library has been ripped to my server, local OTA feeds in from my HD Homerun tuner, and can use my phone or anything with a web browser as a remote.
Not a huge problem for me: they cap the resolution at 1080 but that’s what my projector does. Looks pretty good on my wall. Plus I only currently have HBO myself…but yeah 4k bluray/jellyfin looks just as good because the projector is the limiting factor anyway.

I refuse to use my money to buy an ad platform.
Same buddy. I use a projector and a laptop with an air mouse and my ‘apps’ are just browser shortcuts set to auto open at specific urls in kiosk mode.
Is there not an issue with the likes of streamers capping resolution on desktops? Maybe you dont use streamers at all.
