I got a Fire TV Stick from an office raffle several months ago and I finally got around to setting it up this weekend. We've got Netflix, Hulu, and Plex up and running so far. It's a nice little device.

Are there some recommended tweaks/hacks for this thing I can use? I've read I can install Kodi on it.

Also, I can't seem to cast to the Youtube app from my desktop or laptops, but I can connect to it fine from my phone. Not sure if that's a known issue. Maybe I should try using Kodi instead?

You can run Kodi on it just fine, and I also found the cast portion picky. Make sure you have the actual YouTube app and not the YouTube.com app which are all different.

It's the actual Youtube app downloaded via the list of apps on the Fire TV Stick menu. It's weird because Chrome on my other devices will see the Stick in the Cast menu, but when I select it and connect to it, nothing happens. If I then disconnect, the Stick Youtube app closes.
