  Yes.

  Not only due to privacy concerns (my main concern), as the device will constantly ping home even when turned off. Other concern is it will download “updates”, that eventually may render your tv browsing experience laggish.

  Some tv sets have not only mics incorporated, but cameras, so it may depend on your level of concern.

  What are the specs, hardware wise, of both your laptop and your nas?

  I wanted to get rid of my chromecast, so I initially planned on reusing an old minipc I had, tried installing SteamOS on it but failed miserably.

  Then I went with Opensuse Aeon, instaled Kodi but I really don’t like the interface, so I am using the Jellyfin client, the SteamApp, and Firefox with my usual adblock setup. All via flatpaks.

  This setup autoupdates, so it is cool to have it up 24/7 and just turn on the tv. I can control it via my dualshock, but it is more usable with a 2.4Ghz remote control w/keyboard I got for less than 20€

  Sound goes via hdmi to the tv, and from there to my soundbar via ARC, so no sound directly to the pc.

  Next, I may setup the Jellyfin server on this machine, so I can leverage its hardware for transcoding (better specs that the nat)

  Iirc, you are entitled to have/create a backup of your physical media, as long as it is for your personal use.
