Sure, as with smartphones the modding community is quite active.
If your box has a common chipset and graphics card then chances are good someone cooked a firmware together already.
A good place to start is over at the XDADevelopers forum.
Then there are various forums dedicated to certain models out there.
If you type your chipset, e.g. S905 and some meaningful other words into a Google search you get something like this.
Right at the top some forum links and further down firmwares for various models out there.
Do some reading, get some ideas and the right programs in case you need to flash over USB instead of letting the box do the thing from the SD card.
Are those alternatives or even a firmware for a different box better than what you already have?
No clue, all depends on how all is working, especially those with 4K TV sets and Dolby systems connected often suffer from all sorts of problems in terms of perfect image and sound quality.
If your box is quite old in terms of firmware, let's say from 2015 then it does make sense to want try something new.
Same if certain things just never really work, noone wants to have the box shut down when the movie is just getting interesting LOL
Installing a custom firmware is risky, especially if your hardware is specifically listed to be compatible - often in a thread users test the firmware on their devices, so check there too ;)
If things go bad it usually means the box is unresponsive and installing the original or an otherwise working firmware will fix it.
But if you install something that simply can't work on your hardware you might end with a brick.
For a lot of boxes you can get custom recoveries - if you want to play with firmwares then please consider a custom recovery first!
The stock recovery is often limited and only allows for a factory reset or the installation of a firmware.
A proper wipe and clean or even fixing bootloader problems is only possible through a custom recovery, a flasher program or ADB, the last only helps if you really know what you are doing.
A question I was asked quite often is how to backup everything before installing a new firmware.
For Kodi you get addons to do just that, even into your cloud account.
For the rest all I can say is that it runs on Android and that the playstore offers enough backup solutions for all budgets.
If you need your progress for installed games, account settings or you special network and proxy configuration than please do use backups ;)

Notable things about this firmware:
Fully rooted with SuperSu installed.
FX File Explorer to replace the default.
The usual fixes for keyboard and so on.
Logo and animation change to the defaults instead of branded ones.
Google keyboard replaced by the much smaller Hacker's keyboard.
AdAway.
Pulsar to replace the stock music player.
VLC to replace the stock video player.
Kodi 17.3
Some other programs I find useful are installed too, some just ready for you to install from the Apps folder on the internal storage.
Overall running nice and stable with no problems so far on my end.
Installation:
As usual unpack the RAR archive to your SD card or USB stick.
Boot with a toothpick to get into TWRP recovery.
I recommend a clean install after wiping Cache, Data and internal memory.
The first boot takes some time, so be patient - once the CPU usage levels out you can do your personalisation, network setup, Google account and so on.
