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.
Kodi is a great Linux client. But that’s not what OP wants, the jellyfin app is a nicer UX experience.
The Jellyfin app is not a Linux distro, that’s what OP asked for.
Yes, I understood that. There are specific OS for Kodi like libreElec, that make it easy to have support for lots of codecs etc. I don’t know if any for specific to Jellyfin, but the Jellyfin App has a better UX than Kodi.
