Best HTPC distro? (sh.itjust.works)

I caved to black Friday promotions and ordered myself a fan less MSI Cubi N ADL S with N100, 4GB ram, 128 GB m.2 SSD and a Rii F8 remote.

To run as "smart TV", mainly jellyfin, dvb-t2 antenna, YouTube, local public channel streaming from their websites.

Which is the hottest HTPC distro for this right now in your opinion?

It needs to be easy to use for non-techie and super stable and reliable, rather than fancy or brand new and hype.

To replace my current "attach the steamdeck to TV when needed" setup (so I can play on it while something is being watched). And this was experienced as not easy enough for non-techies?

You mean as server? I'm looking for os on TV box, server is already running dietpi with jellyfin and works rather well
