What I like best about LibreELEC is how lightweight and fast it is for turning any device into a dedicated media center. The setup process is simple, the interface is clean, and Kodi runs very smoothly even on low-powered hardware like Raspberry Pi. It provides excellent stability, regular updates, and strong community support, making it a reliable choice for home entertainment systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about LibreELEC is its limited range of applications beyond media streaming, since it’s mainly focused on Kodi. I also find that more advanced configuration and troubleshooting can be challenging for beginners, particularly when it comes to add-ons, network settings, or hardware compatibility issues.

What I like most about LibreELEC is its lightweight design and consistently smooth performance as a dedicated media center operating system. It’s very easy to install and quick to boot, especially on devices like a Raspberry Pi or older PCs. The interface feels clean and clearly optimized for Kodi, which keeps navigation straightforward and user-friendly. Another big advantage is its stability—once it’s configured, it runs reliably and needs very little maintenance. LibreELEC also benefits from strong community support and regular updates, which makes it a cost-effective option for home entertainment setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of LibreELEC is that it’s mainly focused on running Kodi, so its flexibility for other desktop or productivity tasks is fairly limited. Some users may also find the initial setup and add-on configuration a bit technical, especially if they’re new to Linux-based systems. Hardware compatibility can sometimes be inconsistent with certain Wi‑Fi adapters or newer devices, and troubleshooting often relies on community forums rather than dedicated customer support. Overall, the interface is functional, but it can feel somewhat outdated compared to more modern streaming platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the feature of this software that it runs on very minimal requirements. We have started using Kodi to make presentations and training videos. Once a person get trained on this software, he can be most valuable asset of our AV training team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our people are not very familiar with this software, and there is a lack of training material available on the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LibreELEC is a dream that comes true for my old Raspberry Pi. This makes it easier for customization and is well suited for tweaking which is why more and more people are attempting to assemble their own pc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LibreELEC is that it does not come with storage management as one of its primary tools. By incorporating media on the primary device, a user has to physically move files between the mobile device and another object such as a computer or a USB drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Used LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi 3 for Kodi media player and loved it. It is very lightweight and runs smoothly. By using this i was able to stream music and Netflix on my Raspberry Pi. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I faced some difficulties while installing it on Raspberry Pi. And setting it up on Raspberry Pi for first time is bit tricky. Would like to see a detailed installation and setup instruction by the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to repurpose my over-a-decade old sluggish laptop into a dedicated streaming machine has been made possible thanks to the exceptionally lightweight LibreELEC. Installing the operating system was straightforward & I was able to boot up & sign in to Netflix & YouTube shortly after setting up the OS. Local playback of my library of series, movies & music playlist was flawless as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've noticed a few disconnections with Bluetooth when connecting my Beats Flex wireless earphones to the laptop running LibrELEC which was unnoticed with the device's former OS - Windows 7 Starter. It's not a big deal as I occasionally use wired headphones to resolve the matter. That said, I'm sure a future update may arrive & fix the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
