Great minimalistic OS for your media needs

LibreElec is small, fast and runs smoothly on pretty much any hardware. works fine on my Raspberry Pi zero. It's very easy to use, runs Kodi and has many plugins (such as Youtube) Can use files localy of via shared location boots very fast works with any media type I've tried Open Source

It's Open source so you get what you don't pay for.

|LibreELEC
I like that it's open source in that you can customize what you want. However, I hate that it's open source in that if something breaks up stream after you've customized something to work in your environment you get very little (read "NONE") support from the developers since you decided to break their code. I like that it's the follow on evolution of Kodi which was XBMC which was XBOX media Center (yes kids I'm that Old)... I remember having HALO LAN parties in barracks 33612 on Camp Margarita on MCB Camp Pendleton before 9/11 and our G-6 IT Marines would have so much Cat5 strung through out the barracks we would all be online slaying each other and then we'd all be streaming movies. I got nostalgic and thought I give this a go. It's not quite there yet but it made me walk back down memory lane for a week or so.

Lightweight small footprint to run Kodi

|LibreELEC
This is a very lightweight solution to running Kodi. If you are short on RAM, then LibreELEC is your solution. This runs perfectly on a raspberryPi which has very limited RAM. Once installed it runs smooth without any issues.

What is LibreELEC?

LibreELEC is a highly specialized Linux distribution designed specifically for running Kodi, the popular open-source media player software. It takes a "just enough operating system" (JeOS) approach, meaning that it includes only the essential components required to operate Kodi, resulting in a lightweight and efficient system. This focus on minimalism helps ensure that LibreELEC runs smoothly on a wide variety of hardware, from high-powered desktop computers to low-powered devices like the Raspberry Pi.The main goal of LibreELEC is to make it easy for users to turn a device into a dedicated media center without the overhead of a full general-purpose operating system. With its streamlined installation process and support for automatic updates, LibreELEC provides a user-friendly and maintainable solution for home entertainment setups.
