I dont mind fidling with the dev board, I actually have experience and like it as i did a diy dvs project with a c1 almost 2 years ago.

This is why i was asking, to know if libreelec for kodi is that much better as to not be running a standard (C2) linux build....

Off the top of my head: (LE 7.1 for the C2)

• Smooth 24p (+ more) video playback with Kernel patching.
  
• Comprehensive Audio support inc. HD Audio passthrough and Multichannel 24bit PCM Audio output for FLAC and AAC audio
  
• Interlaced DVD video playback fixed.
  
• 3D ISO support, at least you can output that at Half - Res Top / Bottom
  
• 1080p > 2160p Resolution switching and GUI and Video Scaling bugs fixed.
  
• Comprehensive Kodi LibCEC support
  
• Then there is the media build editions of LibreELEC supporting backported DVB drivers from far more modern Linux Kernels...
  

There are more, but that's enough typing...

A proper Linux Distro will always be better for server duties.

As for AML Android, well then that's a different story. WeTek have the superior Firmware for AMLogic Android Lollipop with all the DRM Bells and Whistles.
