That's been my experience too. I had heard so much good about it, but it feels so janky.
I really wish there was a normal minipc option with a good remote controlled UI. But they all have such terrible interfaces or if it's running Linux, weird limitations by streaming vendors who lock Linux to 1080p because they are afraid of piracy, as if that actually prevents anything at all.
I can't stand how normalized these invasive ads have become. I have a child at home and she is too young to know how intrusive ads are. I don't want my 7 year old being shown ads for content that they aren't mature enough for.
