Yes, I had a really hard time getting used to the UI. Later found the ModernUI Workbench plugin which made it a whole lot better.

I've heard Roblox get recommended as a way of "playing" into programming. It's a multiplayer game platform scriptable in Lua. Doesn't seem like it supports any Nintendo devices, but is available on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Xbox, and PlayStation. https://create.roblox.com/
If you want it to run smoothly with video streaming and sane thermals/fan noise, I'd leave it with macOS. For NAS I'd instead buy a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 and set it up with an external USB HD and Raspberry Pi OS.
Yeah, looking at the comments this seems like a better way forward. Re the NAS, I bought a bunch of devices in the past but their security was terrible, so I switched to an external USB drive which should make the setup you mentioned trivial. Thanks.
