LibreELEC Description

LibreELEC is a streamlined Linux distribution specifically designed for running Kodi on popular media center devices. We are committed to the enduring benefits of collaborative development and actively contribute to the broader Open Source community instead of keeping modifications to ourselves. While LibreELEC is centered around Kodi, it has also been forked to create a stable JeOS base for other projects like Plex Embedded, Lakka, and various IoT and maker initiatives. Users familiar with OpenELEC will recognize similarities in the software output, as both distributions operate Kodi with shared code, yet they diverge in their foundational principles. The governance of LibreELEC is managed by a project board that is elected from among the active team members, responsible for defining project objectives, establishing priorities, and making key decisions. This board plays a crucial role in ensuring that tasks are effectively assigned to volunteers. LibreELEC stands as a free and open-source software solution that aims to empower users and developers alike. The community-driven approach fosters an inclusive environment where contributors can thrive and share their innovations.

    Sofware is great but community is toxic

    Edited: Jul 13 2023

    Summary: Other forks like CoreELEC do have a much better and friendlier community but have different device/hardware targets.

    When possible avoid LibreELEC because of the toxic community and use a fork when possible.

    Positive: Great piece of software - write to flash and run! All updates (from OS to apps) are included. No extra maintenance needed.

    Negative: The community is very bad and moderators make use of censorship.
