I have a semi-decent Intel NUC that got decommissioned from being a game server, so it's not really in use.

Do you have any recommendations for a Linux distro or home media OS that I could set it up in the living room to play some emulators, watch Plex off my NAS, maybe some adblocked youtube or spotify, etc?

Pick up and play would be key. A wireless keyboard would be fine but a remote would be ideal

I don't know if the NUCs have IR receivers OOTB, which you will need to use a standard remote. I know the raspberries have them.

For best compatibility with NUCs I would just google for which distro to use. You're definitely not the first person to use them as media PC. I use Nobara on my Beelink and everything worked OOTB, but that's different hardware. Once you have a distro running you have all the options of a PC to run Plex, Firefox, Spotify, etc...
