I was just curious if any other Linux distros might gain official support eventually? Right now I'm using Ubuntu 18.10, but lately it seems like others such as Manjaro/Arch and MX-Linux are gaining quite a bit of foothold. I know Kodi can be installed on those, but wasn't it more of a community supported thing? I wasn't able to get it to build on Manjaro last time I tried.
MX looks like it has a lot of potential for HTPC use, and both distros tend to have a newer Kernel than Ubuntu. That really comes in handy when using later hardware such as Ryzen APU based systems. My HTPC is using a Ryzen 2400G and taking advantage of the on-chip graphics. VAAPI seems to work great so far. My projector reports 12-bit color and 4:4:4 chroma being fed from the HTPC.
Does any of the Kodi team use Linux as a daily driver? And if so, what distro do you run? Ubuntu definitely has the biggest user base, but I'm not a fan of the Snaps taking over, among other things.
