I maybe hijacking this thread so apologies..
As I had stated earlier.. I was confusing HDR with 4K. ultraHD, 4k, HDR are used interchangeably and loosely (I realize not necessarily correctly)..
I understand 4k is possible on intel on Kaby/apollo lake, but HDR is not.. if I am correct, how does that affect the experience? Are there any legal addons that do HDR? Can we even make digital copies of your legally purchased ultraHD Blu-ray Discs with HDR encoding?
I guess my question is, will I be losing out on any quality Kodi experience in Linux due to the lack of HDR that I could get with possibly ATV 4k and MrMC or LibreELEC amlogic?

My 4k display dosent do hdr so i cant comment but ive always jumped in with new tech so takin a back seat till things settle. 4k no hdr is fine by me for now.
I run kodi on linux @ 2160p so im happy with this.

That's how I originally dropped Mint onto my works netbook - I first booted off USB then installed it to an SD-MMC card in the side slot, avoiding my OS and keeping an alternative OS handy on a separate chip.
