while recovering from the snip I've been comparing two #raspberrypi #kodiTV distros: #Xbian & #libreelec.
Xbian is the winner for me. low memory usage, smooth UI. Went with the Mimic skin and spent a god amount of time customizing it. Now it's extremely "user friendly" -- set up for the non-technical, "I just want to watch movies or TV series" type person that is my partner in crime.
