As far as I can tell there is no good Linux client for HTPC.
Closest thing is probably SteamOS only you fill the game slots with streaming services with Heroic Games Launcher. But then you're going to be limited to 720p on most services, which blows.
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.
