Nothingwise
Batocera works really well, has a 10ft UI, and includes:
- Kodi to stream local media and can act as an Airplay receiver. I use Jellyfin as a server but I bet Emby would work just as well.
- the ability to run Flatpaks
- a nice 10 ft UI as the default and allows for customization
- emulation backends and moonlight game streaming
- the ability to pair Xbox, PlayStation, or any other Bluetooth controllers
Get a usb IR receiver like FLIRC or something similar with HDMI CEC to control everything via standard remote.

Vote. Shit won’t change if you don’t make yourself heard.
Firefox + uBlock Origin + arkenfox user.js gives you privacy, security and anti-tracking. The only way to fly IMO.
Per one of the Arkenfox maintainers: “There’s nothing wrong with mozilla’s telemetry - it uses PRIO, and it uses GLEAN, and it doesn’t collect any PII, and it helps decisions upstream (and I’m not talking pedantic UI changes) that benefit everyone. Opt-in doesn’t work. I’m sure you can google why. There is no reason to distrust Mozilla here - you’re using their product” https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1659#issuecomment-1518353397
That being said, if anyone wishes to block the telemetry you can do so by following the Arkenfox recommendations and setting up uBO: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions And/or a network wide DNS blocker (which OP did).
