LibreELEC Description

LibreELEC is a lightweight Linux distribution that was specifically designed for Kodi and other popular media center hardware. We are passionate about the long-term benefits of collaboration and upstreaming code rather than hoarding patches. We actively participate in other Open Source projects as well as the ecosystem of regular contributors and drive-by contributors. While LibreELEC is still Kodi-oriented, we have been forked to provide the stable JeOS foundation for Plex Embedded and Lakka as well as a variety of single-purpose IoT/maker projects. OpenELEC users will recognize the software output of LibreELEC. Although we run Kodi together, the core values of the projects are different. LibreELEC is governed and managed by a project board made up of active members. This board sets priorities, prioritizes projects, and makes executive decisions. The board ensures that project tasks are distributed among volunteers. LibreELEC is a free and open-source software.

Qubes OS

Qubes OS is an open-source, free, security-oriented operating platform for single-user desktop computing. Qubes OS uses Xen-based virtualization for the creation and management a set of isolated compartments known as qubes. These qubes are virtual machines (VMs) that are used to implement a set of isolated applications for professional or personal projects. They also serve to manage the firewall and network stack. Qubes provides your computer with the security of Xen hypervisor, which is used by many major hosting companies to isolate websites from each other. You can't decide which Linux distribution to use? You still need one Windows program for work? Qubes doesn't limit you to one OS. Qubes integrates Whonix, making anonymous browsing over the Tor network safe and simple.

Arch Linux Reviews
Arch Linux
(2 Ratings)
Arch Linux is an independent, x86 64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution. It strives to provide stable versions of most software through a rolling-release approach. The default installation is a minimal system that can be configured by the user to add only what is needed. Arch Linux is simple. It doesn't allow for unnecessary modifications or additions. It ships software as released by the original developers (upstream) with minimal distribution-specific (downstream) changes, patches not accepted by upstream are avoided, and Arch's downstream patches consist almost entirely of backported bug fixes that are obsoleted by the project's next release. Arch ships the configuration files provided by upstream with changes limited to distribution-specific issues like adjusting the system file paths. It does not add automation features, such as enabling a service just because the package has been installed.

    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.
