If you want to invest in new hardware, I would suggest getting a mini PC. You can get these refurbished for under 100€. Add a wireless keyboard with touchpad (Logitech K400 or Microsoft Media Keyboard) and install Linux+Kodi.
You can select Kodi in your login manager to start straight into Kodi, so you dont have to mess with a desktop environment if you just want to watch a movie.
KDE is also developing a desktop environment for TVs called Plasma Bigscreen, although I haven't tried this one.
And unlike devices with a locked down, proprietary OS you can run any desktop application or game on it (if the hardware supports it).
What OS do you recommend installing beside Kodi? I'd be curious to learn about how the bypass the login screen and boot straight into the software.
I use Libreelec. It is an OS that is made to run Kodi.
