How well does this setup jive with small children who want their liquid entertainment?

I got a little SoC computer, an OrangePi6+, and have a 10tb hdd mounted to it. I run Plex from that, its a "netflix" style frontend for your personal media. My mother is in her 70's and can't send an email or open a PDF, I just mailed her a Roku with it all set up already and its all she uses.

This is kind of a bad recommendation now though, as tariffs have made the SoC expensive, AI storage shortages have made the HDD hard to get, and Plex pass went from the onetime $75 I paid years ago to $750 now. A better route would probably be an old laptop + goodwill external + Jellyfin
