Best ice cream flavor? Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, or pistachio?
There is no "best" OS for Kodi, it works well on most platforms, it's a personal preference.
That being said, LibreELEC is my favorite flavor of Kodi. Easy to install, very low maintenance, works well on Intel hardware.
P.S. Pistachio is the best ice cream, wanna fight about it?
Matrix 19.x (LE), Aeon Nox SiLVO, NUC8i5BEK (i5-8259U, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655, 16 GB ram, 128 GB M.2 SSD)
Samsung F6300 46" LED LCD TV, SMSL Q5 Pro amplifier, Pioneer HPM-100 speakers
Synology DS215j NAS fileserver (WD Gold 10TB x 2)

Thanks, whysoserious, I agree that Bacon is the King of Meats! About Ice cream, I don't like Pistachio, BUT PLEASE!!!! WE DON'T NEED TO FIGHT!!!!! :-)
Do you think that my hardware will run nicely? (HP t510 ThinClient with 4GB Corsair RAM memory, 2 HDD One of then is NAS 1TB) I have just tested here that the hardware can run W10 Enterprise LTSB,(X64) and runs good... Just worried about if Linux have drivers for the onboard video-card...

I always recommend the OS that you can support. An HTPC is never quite done and always needs some hand holding. If you're running an OS that you know nothing about, you may find it frustrating.

Windows Embedded 7 can be a good way? Because Windows XP is out of support... Other question is how long kodi 15 will survive, about DVI ports, is easy to put a DVI-HDMI converter...
