I've been running my home off a pi4 for the last 3 or 4 years. I'm starting to see some failures and think it's time to upgrade to stronger piece of hardware and wanted to see what most people recommend? I've been looking at MiniPC's and there are some good options.
Appreciate the help.

As always, depends. I'm not a fan of the pi but what are you hoping to achieve with the hardware change besides avoiding "failures"? A tiny PC is usually a good replacement. You can find some of my suggestions here: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0

Home assistant is the center point for my entire home automation platform. Any echo or Google home that I've got gets its devices from there. So it needs to be strong enough to handle all the automations in the house without overheating or dying. Since I'm not really sure what new stuff they're going to put on in the future, it needs to have enough CPU and memory that it can handle whatever is going to be thrown out in the near future.

The green should be supported for a while and your new PC is likely much faster. I'd look for a deal on eBay for a used Tiny PC as mentioned in the link.

16G is too little. GX-415GA is too slow. See this from my link: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/4297vs6054vs6672vs5157vs6304/BCM2711-vs-BCM2712-vs-Broadcom-BCM2712-vs-Intel-N100-vs-Intel-N150
Then compare with what you linked: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+GX-415GA+SOC&id=2081
The storage situation of it is bad too. Not recommended.

which other thin client do you recommend? I am not planning on spending much but I am upgrading the storage of it.
