Oh I agree, chromecasts and any android streaming box are a hard no. It’s just really important to recognize that replacing one with a mini pc is going to be much more expensive than just using a better streaming box.

So what IS a better streaming box if Chromecast and Android are out? IIRC Roku is enshittifying and Apple TV is great, but it’s even more proprietary and locked down than an Android box. Shield is also Android I think?

It’s usually a worse streaming box… WAY worse. Lol I should know since I tried it twice. First w mythbuntu circa 2004 and again w Kodi over a decade later and they both sucked compared to the $20 Chromecast I got for Xmas. Lmao
