The mini pc is the most flexible. Batocera works really well and includes:
- Kodi to stream local media and can act as an Airplay receiver
- the ability to run Flatpaks
- a nice 10 ft UI
- emulation backends and moonlight game streaming

The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.

This is the first time I’ve heard anyone say Kodi has a learning curve. I’m curious what you found difficult?

Not OP but I found Kodi incredibly intuitive up until the point that something didn’t behave as expected. Then it was very complicated and support was difficult to find and understand.
