Yes, you can run Jellyfin from your Steam Machine. It's right there in the Discovery software center.
Only quirk, other than all the quirks and fussiness Jellyfin has on it's folder structure, is that it's installed with flatpak so you gotta explicitly grant it permission to read your data directory if it isn't the default one.
Mine, for instance, is at ~/data/media so I have to:
And have to do that after install, but before setup-wizard.
Jellyfin is just nightmarish for copying to a new machine in general. Don't try and copy the config. Just be sure to always store your thumbnail images etc. alongside the files and accept it's going to be a rescan a loss of all your watched-already data I guess.

Arguably the main purpose of the new Steam Machine really is to be the screen and keyboard on the treadmil desk.
Finally, that thing isn't running of the portable games console, and is capable of doing actual work.
Haven't spent much time with Arch or KDE before, let alone this SteamOS variant in particular.
Weird and funny that's it's username is 'deck' and it's hostname is 'steamdeck'
Half an hour at a potentially-keep-it-up-all-day sedate pace.
The work I got done is entirely just configuring this machine though 😆
Here's the bash script I now have which I can copy to a new steam machine, and maybe any Arch / KDE machine, to install Vim and set up keyboard shortcuts so you can move the windows around with ctrl-alt-J and the keys around that on the keyboard. Nine shortcuts for nine sides/corners/center.
