I was asking the op what desktop environment they’re running, in response to their question

...and I was informing you that, given they are looking for an alternative to Kodi, they may not be running a DE.

There are differences in pronunciation, at least for my southern British dialect. "Your" is said "yorr". "You're" is said "yeur" and is far closer to the "you are" it comes from. It's just said at speed blending the words.

None.

If somebody is using Kodi they're probably running in a kiosk style. On my install I don't even have XOrg or Wetland installed. Kodi is just running on kernel level graphics buffers (GBM).

Yes jellyfin is a server, and the question asked was what to replace Kodi with. Kodi is a frontend. Jellyfin doesn't solve the problem.

Kodi is a frontend.

Jellyfin is a server.

Jellyfin is not a replacement for Kodi. Jellyfin would replace OPs WebDAV server, but that's not the question being asked.

To be fair I didn't know that existed because I don't use windows. I would expect it would be fine if I did. However, I use Linux.

Fire stick is not a HTPC

...and it's unusably buggy in my experience.

So recommend a client suitable for a dedicated HTPC? I've yet to find one, as the Kodi add-on for jellyfin is buggy in my experience.

So how do you interact with the jellyfin server from your HTPC?

Probably depends a lot on what options you had enabled on BTRFS. Metadata (i.e. what files are stored where) is normally replicated so you may be able to rebuild the information.

Step 1 is always to copy the filesystem somewhere else, and then work on the copy. That way, if you screw up, you can always make a new copy and start over. Don't write anything to the drive you're trying to fix. Always work on the copy. In fact, once you've made the copy, disconnect the original.
