Although I have used the sbc builds of Libreelec for years, I know nothing about the generic build for PC's.
Is it actually the OS like the sbc versions?
Does it support a mouse or touch screen or does it need a dedicated remote?
Thanks!

It's exactly the same OS, only compiled for x86_64 CPU architecure and with different GPU drivers to suit "PC" hardware. It supports a mouse the same as the ARM/SBC releases. It could support a touchscreen; depending on the exact/specific hardware having drivers in the kernel or can be enabled in the kernel. Most users will attach some kind of remote; either the 'wireless' keyboard type, or an IR sensor like flirc.tv with a spare IR remote, or a BT remote. Unlike ARM devices, CEC is rarely supported in the PC world.
