That's why you should build your own media center from an old machine. Much safer and more private.
The problem is that YouTube app and F1 app are Android only so having a Linux media box won't help. It needs to run Android to run Android apps.
Plus I like to use Chromecast, we use it all the time to send YouTube videos from our phones to the big screen.
What's wrong with using YouTube in a browser?
Can't control it from my phone. Would need a mouse. At least I'm tech minded. My wife isn't and there is no way she would stand for using a mouse and browser on the TV.
Get a media centre remote. Works great.
And if you have an Android phone use KDE Connect. There's a Windows version now also, and you can do just about everything with it.
Ah, right, makes sense. I'm using a steam controller (or any other controller with steam, honestly) instead of a mouse, which works well enough
