I've had mine running for 5 years now without a single issue like that. If you install Windows with a debloater tool, you can disable most of that nonsense. Set up for it to auto-restart every day (I set mine for 3am) and I have only ever had a problem once, and thats because a RAM stick finally went bad in it and needed to be replaced.

I am pretty sure ads do appear on SteamOS, but they are for games in the Steam store. Xbox has ads literally right on the home screen and I complain about them all the time. My HTPC I setup hasn't shown me a single ad for anything in the last 5 years, because I disabled notifications and don't ever use Explorer unless I want to add/remove games to the frontend. Its fully controller compatible, I highly recommend it.
