Hi
 
I had bought a NanoPi R4S with the goal of installing IPfire.
Unfortunately that was too complicated for me https://wiki.ipfire.org/hardware/arm/friendlyelec/nanopi-r4s
 
I had now installed Armbian and NextCloud and I am very satisfied. In about 10 hours I had "my own cloud". Therefore a very warm and big thank you to the Armbian developers.
Only thanks to the Armbian, I can look over the Raspberry horizon.
 
I wish you a very pleasant week
Best regards

Flagship I'd say anything that is based on RK3588(S). However mainline support is still in development, legacy got most of the stuff working.
If you want something older that is well matured and should handle 4k with ease I'd say something with RK3399. For latter LibreELEC provides images for various boards.
 
It sounds like you are mostly interested in streaming so go for LibreELEC. If you want generic Linux desktop with Debian/Ubuntu userspace functionality go for Armbian.
 
As a generic hint I recommend avoiding so called "TV Boxes" altogether. These devices are like cancer on the market. Undocumented, no source codes, no BSP, removed/inaccessible debug console, mutating uncontrolled (vendors tend to change hw components without notice and simply keeping the product name while breaking software support). Better get a proper board. Here is some inspiration:https://www.armbian.com/download/
