That's my ultimate goal. While there are some good home theater PC options out there, I'm thinking a base M1 Mac mini (8GB RAM, 256GB storage) would be better than an Apple TV, mainly because it can run Firefox with uBlock Origin; therefore, ad-free YouTube with SponsorBlock.

There might even be better options for less money that run Linux on an x86-64 platform, which opens the doors to light PC gaming. That Mac retailed for $599 when it was new, but it would be cheaper now, especially if it's used. Used opens the door to Intel Macs, but Intel Macs are typically more trouble than they're worth, as I understand it. These could run Linux, but I heard the hardware has cooling issues that Linux wouldn't solve (other than having the chance to run at lower overheads than macOS, perhaps).
