I don't think that just by having an AMD card would solve your issue. Granted that with AMD there's hardly any setup required.

I also pay for it and watch it on my android TV. And I completely agree with you. But for now it's my main source of TV and I mainly follow channels I subscribe. I don't listen to music on YT, i do follow some live music channels
Yeah, but the form factor of the steam deck makes it more appealing if I want to set It up in the living room
Ok. I get it now. I've been trying to build something cheap as a Linux gaming setup and I've come to the conclusion that I'm better off buying the steam deck.
I would stick with SMB and SSH(SFTP). SMB for content sharing and accessible on any device like PCs or phones. SSH, which includes SFTP, for accessing everything else on the server.
Security starts first with you. Most of the attacks are done though social engineering. Email phishing, dodgy webpage logins. Normal password security behaviour should fine for you to use the pc. More importantly, what is the distro you're using? Maybe consider using Flatpaks for the apps, they tend to offer more restrictions on access to the system. (Installing the torrent app as a Flatpak and only give it permissions to a specific folder) One of things I tend to do is install chromium just to login on my Google apps, Gmail, YT. But I'm more of a non data sharing freak.
I work on IT support and all of our clients use enterprise. It's not just the Ads.
Microsoft has slowly been dumbing down it's apps and the OS. Removing features that where good for office users.
Access to settings is a joke. It's a bad OS. I fell like they've gone backwards, again.
My pet peeve right now is why can't the taskbar be placed on the sides? It had that functionality before.
Hardware issues have been fading more and more. Just recently saw a small survey in a Linux channel with about 1000 responses. And about 50% retired no issues with hardware plus a lot more that only had 1 issue (there are still some vendors who don't offer compatibility like AMD or Intel). So most people don't actually need to download drivers, it's all in the kernel.
