Replacement MythTV hardware - LansoirThemos - 2022-11-08

My current MythTV backend is 12 years old this year, currently running on Ubuntu/Xubuntu (upgraded from) Mythbuntu 18.04. The box has a fanless Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT in it, and the Nvidia binary driver for 20.04 (and I presume the upcoming 22.04) doesn't support it. At all.
So, I'm looking at replacing the guts (Gigabyte motherboard in a home theatre case) with something newer, perhaps an Intel processor with on-board video.
I'm not looking for small form factor, ITX, or Pi-based solutions for this combo master backend / frontend (additional frontends around the house). Are there any recommendations (processor/motherboards) and what are the advantages of those solutions?
