Latest raspbian with KODI currently faster then LibreELEC?

  • I was messing around these day trying to install KODI on Rpi1 and doing some stuff with gpio at the same time, and while I was trying out different things it came to my attention that a fresh install of raspbian buster with kodi seemed noticeably faster then a fresh install on LibreELEC.

    Now I am not sure if you can really compare, since LibreELEC had samba enabled and perhaps there is some other stuff missing that would make raspbian slower, but I though it was interesting.

  • Raspbian is a full-blown OS, while LibreELEC has only those things that are "on a need-to-have" basis. But perhaps that Buster has received a number of updates that are making certain things smoother. Or perhaps you are using a quicker SD card for Buster?
