I like setting up my SteamDeck docked on my big TV. Newer games look rough at 720p, but playing older/indies at 1920x1080 + 4 controllers is a great experience.

Let's say I want the option to boot into a frontend that makes it easy browsing a local collection of shows/movies on a USB. What are my options? So far Kodi seems to do exactly that, but I've heard of Jellyfin/etc.

IMO, Jellyfin is a much better experience than KODI. I used KODI for a very longtime, then Emby, which decided to close source, etc. Jellyfin arose from that drama, by a dev or two from Emby (I think? Longtime ago...).

Anyways, Jellyfin is super intuitive, and not such a pain in the ass configuring plug-ins, getting different repositories for plug-ins, etc.
