Do you know of a good tutorial on how to do all that? I'm planning on buying a new TV towards the end of this year and want to have the pi-hole, etc working first

Pi-hole is super easy. Literally just install it, and set your dhcp on your router to push out that IP as your dns server. Configure pi-hole to use an upstream dns server.

There's a bunch of launchers out there. I did mine a while back and used Wolf launcher, but later found out it was a "hacked" version of some other paid launcher. I used launcher manager to "enable" it on boot. Right out of the box, it has all apps and no ads. I suspect any launcher you go with will be similar.
