Jellyfin Media Player is the main desktop app, but if I were you I'd probably set it up with LibreElec and use the Jellyfin Kodi plugin, since you're looking for sort of a console-ized setup for your non-techie friend.
Now all that said, the Roku app is great and you could definitely just get your friend a Roku Streaming Stick+ and set up the JF app on it for them.

True, though you could grab a Kodi theme that's "close enough" if you're so-inclined.
For instance, if you use a version of LibreElec with Kodi 19 "Matrix" on it, you could grab the Embuary skin for it, which is based on the Emby web-ui, which Jellyfin is forked off of originally
