Well... I currently run Libreelec from an 8 years old Raspberry pi 2. It still works fine, but I wanted to update (speed, 4K etc), and the RPi 5 seemed a great choice when it came out (+ I'm still a great fan of RPi !)
But then I read the comments on N100 mini PC, and I have to admit that, in my situation, I agree N100 seems a better choice than RPi 5...
Plenty of fanless celeron based mini pcs on the market and you seem to agree on promoting one specific vendor and model.
You are talking about thing that is happening since v11.0.0. I think nano is impacted by same ridiculous screen redraw too. You probably got typo in "LE1`2.0.3" or time machine.
What do you think of the Putty app, is it also suitable for these purposes?
Where is sarcasm sign when you need one?
Putty is SSH client.
I have the same exact issue and I can't identify what is getting my drive full.
Same setup.
Anybody that can help?
Answer is above your post. "You were right".
If you have any mount points setup above directory/mount point that has mismatching used capacity, get those mount points unmounted and check what you have under them.
I think nano and mc got something in common. ncurses. mc is f...ed up in LE 11 too. I would say that mc on LE11 flickering too up to the point where screen redraw is visible to normal humans.
4. Can I install and use FreeTube, or a similar privacy respecting YouTube client?
5. Are there settings to ensure the OS/Kodi uses DNS that I can set?
6. Is it possible to install Firefox and can I install add-ons (e.g. uBO etc)?
7. Is there a decent TV remote style input device that works like a wireless mouse/keyboard so I can plug in the mini-USB receiver to the PC and use the 'remote'?
2. https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/clients/kodi/
4. That's called Firefox + adblock.
5. DNS is set by DHCP server on the network or by static network configuration. Nothing kodi specific there.
6. Only in x86 legacy build. Edit. My memory was wrong. Can't find it in addons anymore or maybe I was confusing it with Chrome.
7. Search for air mouse on amazon.
Greetings, I was trying to install LibreELEC on my PC, but after completing the downloading process when I try to install it, I am getting this error message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000012d). Click Ok to close the application." I have no idea what could be the issue. Could someone please help me to fix the issue? Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.
Libreelec is not application. It is whole OS set to run specific set of apps. You can't install it on your Windows PC.
I have just installed Libreelec 11 generic, and I am a new user.
For some reason, I can't find the Chrome addon at all, in the repository "libreelec Add-ons" under "program add-ons".
Am I missing something?
Chrome browser is X window application. Libreelec 11 generic does not use X window. They switched to different rendering to make ARM and x86 builds more similar. If you need X window apps, they might work only in Libreelec 11 legacy build for x86/x64
may I need to install legacy version?
Yes.

PCI-E SATA adapter
There is old online store in UK that got loads of mini itx hardware and search form. Search form answers all your hardware questions. Store sells mini-itx stuff. You can guess its address 
mini PCs tend to not include optical drives to save space as you can attach optical drive via USB. Asus got mini pc option with two M2s and one SSD. Again saving space as 2 SSDs take more space. One of those Asus kits comes with Ryzen 6000H.
AMD 6000H + 2 x SSD + internal Optical will probably reduce your options to zero as I can find only boards with 2 SATA ports and they come with AM5 sockets.
Thank you for your answers, would you have any examples of NUC11 to advise me?
Which processor (i3, i5, etc)?
How many gigs of RAM?
When I was talking about 100$ it's obviously for a second hand pc but I can put more obviously.
etc.

Look for barebone pc in your online store and sort by price. If you don't know what air mouse is, check amazon.
Although looks like local cheap hardware store does list multiple HP or dell mini pcs under 100 EUR and every single one comes with VGA, DVI or display port. No HDMI and extra charge for some infidel OS.
Any x86 kit will work. Just go with the one with integrated intel graphics instead of some fancy nvidia one. bonus, if you get hdmi or your tv supports vga. Half of your price will be ram/ssd/mouse anyway.
100 USD might get you used pc. NUC11 + ram + ssd + air mouse would be around 200 USD.
Motherboard+CPU alone is over 50USD.
knoppix or system rescue cd
You did not tell architecture for usb bootable os.
Base Librelec OS is not on generic file system. Other OS might see /storage configs, but not base OS.

And season numbers should match TMDB and not IMDB.
RPi3 on 10.0.4 is not flashy and it is not using xorg.
I'll go back to 10.0.4 on x86.
If you changed Midnight Commander build parameters in v11 builds, rollback, check why your QA testers end up in ER after tests or fix screen redraw.
MC screen redraw speed is too slow or redraw algorithm is broken in LibreELEC 11.0.0. Screen is flashing black on any fast actions (navigate, copy or move, paste).
details from two versions in spoiler. I don't see MC version changes, yet LE v10 mc is usable and I don't recall having problems with mc on x86 before update. I might try loading LE v10 x86 live on same box that got migraine inducing MC version as other x86 media box that I can use for testing got GPU incompatible with libreelec 10.0.4.
