I use zsh with a few customisations. I’ve used fish but it’s sometimes slow so I just stick to zsh.

I use tvheadend (as backend) and Kodi as frontend. Works well for me.
I like that tvheadend can map multiple services/muxes (m3u channels) to the same channel, so if one channel doesn’t work it silently switches to another service/mux.
I use guide2go to download EPG via schedulesdirect, with excellent quality (including posters and icons).
It is a bit tedious to setup all the mappings in tvheadend but it can be automated with some scripts that give the same channel the same tvg-id and set the tvh-prio properties. Only have a hundred or so channels that I use so I just do it manually.
I run zfs on my (two) Debian boxes (a thinkpad x1 and a home server). Installing it as the root filesystem was a bit tricky but once it’s done it has been flawless for me. I run the server using 2 ssd in mirror for /etc and all those, and then a couple disks in raidz for data. When one of the root disks died I just swapped it and re synced and was up and running in not time. Unfortunately the laptop only has a single ssd so if that dies I have to reinstall and restore from a backup.
The cool thing is that I can just take a snapshot before messing around and the restore if anything breaks. It has been a really nice experience and I recommend it! I know it’s not the same as an immutable distro, and I tried silverblue but it’s too different from what I’m used to :-)
So do I. Those damn incompatible licenses.
My dream is that one day we will be able to assign default applications to the “generic” names in Gnome. Launch “Browser” and open Firefox (or chrome 🤢), Files and open Dolphin, Messages and open Elements etc etc.
Obviously I can do the same with custom .desktop files but it would be a nice flair to use the settings to just assign applications to those generic names.
