Adding TV to bedroom without using mainstream smart device

Sorry if this the wrong place, I couldn’t find an HTPC, home theater, techsupport, or equivalent instance to ask.

The gist is I want to add a TV to my master bedroom for my wife to just browse the web, and for my kids to have something to watch in the mornings while my wife gets out of bed. I have a main pc in my theater room for gaming, and an HTPC on projector for movies and stuff. I don’t want to get a roku or any mainstream smart device, but I’m OK with getting something like a raspberry pi (never done this) to have an air mouse hooked up to the TV so my wife can browse the web, open YouTube, Netflix, steam books, Spotify, as well as access my pc library of content for viewing. Not for gaming. Everything I’m finding online is people connecting their pc to their TV and it’s always for gaming. I don’t need large processing, just enough to watch things, while connecting to my home computers.

Thank you.

Have you considered a NUC?

I’m doing something similar with an android tv, a raspberry 3a and my home wifi network. Antenna hooked to the raspberry using an usb dongle, tvheadend on the raspberry and kody on the android tv placed wherever you need it. Also added clipious on the tv to have no ad playback. I don’t need surfing so my setup is simpler and everything is controlled using the tv remote. Once you have the pi up and running, the bonus is that you can find a client to connect to tvheadend for any platform, so you can watch tv on a smartphone (android or apple), a tablet, a computer, another tv in the basement…

I just got a Lenovo ThinkCentre tiny pc, different spec variants but it’s just a tiny windows(or Linux if you want to) pc. Super tiny and quiet.

Mines running windows 10 without issue, m710q. Will swap to Linux soon though as W10 EOL soon.
