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.

I'm looking at chimera. Mostly because I also want to use the same machine for gaming, and since chimera boots right to steam, then I could add an entry for jellyfin

I was hoping to use Chimera, bit with it only supporting AMD GPU's (I'm running an Intel n100) I had to keep looking. Bazzite looks interesting.

Yeah, definitely an issue. I'm slowly building up a new rig just for that, and I'm going team red for that build. Honestly the new AMD GPUs are just tanks, and they take on all but the most high end NVidia ones. Doesn't help if you already have a GPU, but if you're in the market I can tell you it's pretty dang awesome. I have looked into Bazzite too, Chimera seems a bit more synced with SteamOS which is why I like it.
