On the mini PC set up a homepage in Firefox that has links to all the streaming platforms and stuff. I use Heimdall but there's many others out there and a lot are probably better. You can just use a browser homepage addon, really.
Get a dongled mini keyboard to use as a remote.
Remove password login from the PC, set it up to auto update every now and then at night when it's not in use, and forget about it.
If people in your house can't use that instead of thebaked in apps then they don't deserve the Wi-Fi password.
