Always easy to use. No annoying apps with badly designed interfaces and unpredictable updates. No having to painstakingly type out searches letter by letter with some sort of controller.
I'm deep in the Apple ecosystem, and I use a Mac mini for this purpose, but I would never want to replace it with an Apple TV.

A cheap/old computer won't be good enough. You may need a computer capable of streaming 4k/HDR (Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, HDR10+). If it cannot do this, the computer is not good enough. Thing is, the Amazon Firestick 4k or 4k MAX can do all of this. It uses less electricity and can stream most of what you'd want to stream.
