Ugh. Roku was one of the platforms with fewer ads.

Roku will be adding more ads to the home screens of its devices and TVs in the near future.
The ads will be interactive and 'shoppable' and will cover a range of industries, including restaurants and cars.
Roku already has a significant amount of ads on its home screen, and it is unclear if users will be able to change their preferences for the new ads.

Can these ads be blocked with pi-hole?

I block logs.roku.com and cloudservices.roku.com on my pihole without impacting any functionality.

Is there a good resource to learn how to install that kind of a system for a person who's tech knowledge ends at one semesters worth of C++?

You can alternatively install Adguard too which will happily sit in a Docker container on a regular server if you're aware of how to do that.
