Streaming Box OS

I'm repurposing an old Gateway HX2800 with a Core 2 Quad Q8200 as a streaming box for YouTube, Disney+ etc. I've tried installing various Android TV x86 images from the community but I keep having issues, either with Wi-Fi not detecting any networks or staying stuck on a Linux command console at boot. I tried using some Linux media center distros (e.g. LibreELEC) but they were not suitable for my use case. How would I go about creating my own installer and include the Wi-Fi drivers for this PC, or are there any other Linux distros that have a TV-suitable GUI that support streaming services as apps/programs? I'm using a Linksys AE1200 Wi-Fi dongle that I have verified works perfectly fine on Windows and Zorin OS.

I probably forgot about this comment so quote me if you need a response.
