Theoretically, you should be able to install waydroid or something similar and android tv apps. I haven't seen it done, so I'm not sure if everything will play nicely. I'd bebinterested in reading a writeup from someone trying though.

Steam set to launch in big picture mode is nice if you can run it on whatever you're using. I'm also looking for more apps so I hope more people reply.

Steam link/remote play works well as long as your connection is good. Unfortunately mine is a bit spotty where my device is so I tend to lag a bit with it.

On an SSD?

You should peek at systemd-analyze blame and banish some services

You’re running a jellyfin server and client on the same machine?
