10 foot ui / htpc other than Kodi?

I’m looking for a sleek ui that’ll support firefox, jellyfin, and steam. I would prefer not to use kodi.

I found this project I might try https://github.com/dudewheresmycode/TenFootGnome

Any suggestions?

    I’ve tried this on several different devices over the past year and all I can say is it’s not ready. It feels like alpha software, with many buttons and menus nonfunctional and frequent issues with windows disappearing and compositor crashing. Tried on Xorg and Wayland, as well as builds on ARM and x86

          Gotcha… Yeah that makes sense. How about the vision? What’s your take on it?

            I love what they’re shooting for with it, if it was more reliable I’d switch to it in a heartbeat. It gives much more of a general Linux for TV experience than Kodi, which is more focused on being a media player, and that’s what I want personally.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
