How much experience do you guys have with LibreElec? I’ve been playing with Kodi on and off for years and years, but am looking at this to replace a fleet of rokus at the house after the recent terms debacle. Anyone have recommendations for UI and usage tweaks to make it easier for the family to use?

I see that it has docker abilities which seems awesome.

Right now I have it installed on bare metal, but might consider running 3 LibreELEC VMs on the same machine with proxmox if that would even be possible. Has anyone tried that? How much horsepower would one need to run 3 1080p streams if it’s possible.

If I’m barking up the wrong tree, I apologize! And would appreciate being pointed to the correct community.

    I used Kodi for around 3 years (on LibreELEC and standalone on various computers). I would recommend going through the settings of Kodi and any addon you install as there are a lot of things you can tweak. In my experience, most good looking skins/themes made Kodi too slow to use (and take a while to setup). I mostly used Kodi to stream using the Fen addon, so I just configured it to open automatically when starting Kodi.

    I would give more specific recommendations but I haven’t used Kodi in around a year at this point and Kodi-related projects have a tendency to get abandoned/disappear; I’m pretty sure Fen was taken down since I last used it, for example.
