https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ from KDE?
Some files on Plasma Bigscreen’s Gitlab were updated 2-3 days ago, so I think it’s still being maintained.
On the other hand, the Emulationstation website reads:
This website is for the original EmulationStation, last updated in 2015!
Without having tried it, I think ES-DE may be a better choice nowadays, since that one seems to be maintained.
RetroDECK bundles ES-DE with relevant tools and emulators if you want to use it for emulation of games.
Thanks! I've updated the link. I always just use Batocera or something like that, which has Emulationstation and Kodi set up for me. So I don't pay a lot of attention to the included projects and their development state...
I didn't include this, since OP wasn't mentioning retro-gaming. But Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka, RetroPie are quite nice. I picked one which includes both Kodi and Emulationstation and I can switch between the interfaces with the gamecontroller. I get all the TV and streaming stuff in Kodi, and Emulationstaation launches the games. And I believe it can do Flatpaks and other applications as well.
They have picked Plasma Bigscreen back up but it’s not available for public use currently.

Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon. In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?
