How to pair mini PC with streaming services to stream on dumb TV? (midwest.social)

Basically title. How does one go about pairing third party services like streaming services to a mini PC so that you can stream it on your dumb / degoogled TV? I don't really know how TVs work, much less mini PCs, so if anybody could dumb it down for me I'd appreciate it. What does your setup look like, if you have a dumb TV (e.g running kodiTV without network connection)?

Depends on how dumb a TV you're talking about. You may need to downconvert the video signal to something the TV accepts.

My current project is getting a bunch of old consoles connected here:

TV supports Coaxial, Composite, S-Video, and Component. So most of the consoles can just connect directly.

The Xbox One is HDMI only, so I need to downconvert that:
