The wording of 14A doesn't require a trial and conviction. It was used extensively in the past without convictions to keep former Confederate officials out of Washington.

New computers are the ones more likely to fail.
You are unlikely to find a new non-smart TV... the TV manufacturers get kickbacks from the streaming services for bundling their apps.
If you did find one, it would be more expensive than the dumb TV because you don't have a bunch of streaming services subsidizing the price of the TV for you.
A computer monitor may work for you, or just buy a smart TV and never connect it to a network. You should be able to set it to automatically start up on the last-used input so you never see the built-in UI.
And they're so easy to pop off and back on that cleaning them up periodically isn't a big deal.
I use Spigen cases... thin, light, grippy, tough, and cheap. Easy to get on and off. They don't obstruct button or port access, while still providing good protection to those things as well as the screen and camera lenses.
I do use rigid screen and lens protectors, also.
I use traditional packages and Flatpaks... with "user apps" being preferred as Flatpak. This is potentially safer as the OS itself can't be affected by installing or removing these applications, and also can mitigate dependency hell as apps that require different versions of the same dependency can coexist peacefully, with each one using its own bundled version of that dependency.
I also have a couple of appimages that aren't available as a Flatpack, and I'll simply find an alternative to anything that is only distributed as a Snap due to the performance issues, mount clutter, and proprietary nature of the Snap distribution back-end.
It's a very rough town with a nice coat of paint in some places.
It doesn't say "convicted of...".
A Linux computer does what you tell it to do when you tell it to do it, and that's all it does...
Like every computer should do.
But this hasn't been true of Windows computers in 20 years.
The facility now identifies as Jail Force One.
I do exactly this with a SteamDeck and USB-C docking station... with the added bonus that I can pull it out of the dock and take it with me to use as a hand-held when I travel.
