LibreELEC 10.0.1, a spin-off from OpenELEC that was discontinued in 2017, combines Media Center Kodi 19.3 (“Matrix”) with the Just Enough operating system (“JOS”) based on Linux. In addition to the classic x86 architecture, affordable single-board computers based on ARM, such as the Raspberry Pi 4, are now better supported.

LibreELEC 10.0.1 Switches To Kodi 19.3 (“Matrix”)

With LibreELEC 9.2.6, developers of the Minimal Linux distribution, whose job it is to provide the Kodi open source media center, only handled their bug fixes and optimizations from LibreELEC 10.0. The release that has just been revealed has switched to Kodi 19.1 or 19.3 (“Matrix”). LibreELEC 10.0.1 can already be downloaded from the official website of the project downloaded Will.
