I’m looking to replace my Rock 5B running Android TV (the OS jank has finally gotten to me) with an x64 Linux HTPC coupled with an Rii remote.

What distro would one recommend for a “Jellyfin native” client setup? I’ve run Kodi with the Jellyfin plugins before and not been a fan of the experience.

That sounds like the server side, but what about the client side?

Linux Mint Debian Edition if you find Debian itself too intimidating.

the only difference is you install a desktop environment on desktop debian imo
