I’m notbtue smartest person and I consider myself tech cursed.
Had a pi4 for a while, used it for retropi for a few weeks by the the became kinda bothersome.
The one time I managed to get pihole running on it it blocked not just ads but entire sites so that wasn’t ideal.
For the pi 5 I used it for a Minecraft server but I had to restart every other day for some reason to be usable.
So what is an easy to use or no think thing I could use a pi 5 for?

It sounds like you really want something that works “out of the box,” in which case, I would look for projects that have disk images available.
This severely restricts what you can do with it, and as others have mentioned, is a bit antithetical to the Pi’s original purpose as a tinkering machine. But you may find something you like.
The most basic would be to just use it as a desktop replacement.
Going through vauge slide menus isn’t really an optimal solution.
Does Minecraft server have a known memory leak or something?
As a hack you can always set up a cronjob to automatically reboot at a time when you won’t be using it, but not sure if that defeats the purpose of a Minecraft server…
id rather not set up something i dont know the basics of
plus i had to use a utility software to even get the server running, let lone have someone else connect to it
Just put android on it. Games and tv and user friendly.
