If all you want to do is run Kodi, then do a standalone OpenELEC setup. Ubuntu requires a bit more upfront setup (kernel updates, sound config), so unless you need/want to run additional app/services and are comfortable with linux, OE is the way to go. But either way, you would just follow the steps for a standalone setup from the first post (which includes installing the custom coreboot firmware). Only difference is with OE, the script has a function to create the install media for you (which isn't 100%, so if it doesn't boot for you, just re-create the install media from another PC).

I'm not going to be doing just Kodi. So I think Ubuntu is the way to go for me.

No point in keeping Chrome OS around that I can think of.
