Try MX Linux. I’ve used lots of distros, but I always go back to MX as my daily driver.

Based on Debian. Good mix of non-invasive built-in utilities. Really good GUI package manager. And Yakuake terminal built in.

If you’re looking for security:

Keep the TV off your network entirely.

Use the Pi as a media computer.
