Kodi is very well known and respected, it's the new/rebranded version of XBMC (XBox Media Center) - it's been around for quite some time

Asking because I don't know, is it well known outside of tech circles?

I've read about (and seen) Rpis sold as "attach this thing to your TV to watch football". So I wonder if people buy it for that or because they respect XMBC
