easy to setup and use, usecases for pi 5

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?
