My workplace is giving old mini PCs to the employees. I put a linux distro on that and use it as a media pc. You can get them on ebay or similar for ~30 €, so it’s basically the same price as a TVStick. I reccommend getting a bluetooth keyboard as well.
Roku is headquartered in California. If we’re prioritizing user friendliness over location (nothing wrong with this!) I’d go with a Google TV box or something like the Google streamer. Since it’s Android based you can (with a little bit of a workaround) change the launcher and ditch the ads. With Roku you’re stuck with whatever they give you; and they just “accidentally” tested ads on startup before you even see the home screen.
I might think my family are more retarded than they are, I’ll test them out on my pc and see how they do. If they do good I might be able to use the raspberry pi someone has suggested.

If you want another stick then there’s also Roku.
I’ll have a look at Roku thank you because it needs to be user friendly for the family.

Using a browser isn’t family friendly enough? :D The only thing that needs fiddling is the setup.

Roku is also American though.
Roku is the easy way out for sure, even though I (and the other Linux homies) will espouse the Linux way
