Lol average user because of the video and music file types I play, that's it.
About the EGL, its what I thought. Kinda an install with all the bells and whistles as of today for this device.
There should be a paragraph at the top of the thread explaining in non technical words what's that for and for what user oriented anyway.
There are a lot settings in that thread I've never done compared to what I had in my WinPC and have in my Android box and I bet that's because of the hardware/OS combination to get the best video quality display/playback and the best out of the hardware right.
Normal install of official kodi, kodibuntu and openelec as of now lack of fixes and goodies for some Intel hardware like the Chromebox, that would explain it.

it's a developmental/test version, it's geared towards technically inclined users. The TL;DR would be that the new EGL rendering method saves an additional copy operation per frame displayed, and allows for direct output of the video without color space conversion/scaling, which can introduce banding artifacts. The only settings listed that are Linux/OS-specific are the video acceleration ones, since different renderers/APIs are used compared to Windows (where there is only one, through DirectX) or Android; the rest are applicable across platforms.

For the average user, there is no real disadvantage to running the standard Windows or OpenELEC versions; the EGL version is just slightly better, and a preview of what's to come.
