It has to be android for me as it the only one that allows for an ad free YouTube solution via sideloading. Preferably via an external box though.

Would you mind explaining what sideloading is? I'd be interested in ad-free YT

Sideloading is installing an app through means other than the official storefront provided by an OS. Android has always let you do that, and Android TV is no exception.

As for the ad-free YT experience? Look up SmartTubeNext.
