Well it is indeed true that I forked the LE 8.x remix build and just updated the packages which were provided by the original build but I wouldn't exactly say I've copied them for the Le 9 build because that just wouldn't work. I'm focused on simplicity and optimization, also I will mostly be releasing builds without Kodi. He also includes several other frontends and afaik some configurability of settings through Kodi. Not much I suppose, as he copied most of my packages. ![]() Same goes for Lakka, although they are way behind at this point. It's quite unique in the Linux distro world.ĮDIT: I can add that as I'm basically leeching off the excellent work the LE team is doing, I will directly benefit of improvements in the base OS and I can do it faster as I'm not bound to things such as release processes and quality assurance. LE as an OS has so much more potential than just Kodi (although that's what they focus on). Docker is a good example, using that I was the first to bring PS2 emulation to LibreELEC. I also include the services and tools that I think is a must-have without having to download any addons. Most of their documentation is relevant for this build. You can look at this as a kind of a bleeding edge Lakka flavor with an Emulationstation frontend. Unfortunately, it's development speed is quite slow (I was on LibreELEC before them) as it's a huge project supporting many different setups. Can you find me a distribution that boots faster into Emulationstation than this? I don't think so I'm sure you are familiar with Lakka, which was my main inspiration back in the OpenELEC days. ![]() The build toolchain is also a joy to use and makes it easy to add anything I want. ![]() It's design with a read-only squashfs and separate storage partition is very efficient. Absolutely, LE as an OS is (in my opinion) the most effective way to run any application as it's a "Just Enough OS".
