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?

179 €. With windows pre-installed that I'll remove right away because it seemed cheaper than buying RAM and SSD separate currently.

Still have an old pi laying around, did OSMC+kodi on that for a few years, but now it's just not powerful enough anymore for handling more recent compressed video
