Best place to look/ask is in the Kodi forums support thread for the skin. Last I looked it hadn't been updated in a while and needed some work for compatibility with Kodi Omega. It's not uncommon for skins to remain outdated until after the Kodi RC releases start or the final release takes place; then people appear, send a few needed changes, then crawl back under whatever rock they've been hiding under. The folks who've maintained it in the past haven't been active/seen for a while though.. so no guarantees.

https://libreelec.tv/ .. click on any LE11 release

I'd suggest an RPi5 with a flirc case. You don't need the 4K capabilities but they exist if/when that changes. It's a fast and simple device and RPi is the gold-standard for LE software support. If you're on a budget an RPi4 is largely the same and will be cheaper, though a little slower (but not slow).

I've updated the 4K/HDR page in the wiki with some more specific comments on 4K60 (based on noggin posts)

It sounds like a bug of some kind .. but it's not a LibreELEC bug, so best to post it in Kodi forums for their devs to triage.

Do what it says then..

Yes, but read the latest LE11 release notes to understand the current state of Amlogic support.

Connect a USB keyboard?

I can't speak for that service, but WireGuard generally delivers much better performance than OpenVPN does.

Not that I'm aware of, but it would be possible to periodicatlly edit content in the database to reset status of all media to unwatched.

IIRC the default behaviour can be changed in RPi5 firmware but it's best to search for info on the Raspberry Pi website/docs.

Read: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/support/log-files
Note that "profiles" support in Kodi is often a little broken, and trying to copy things between different OS often fails due to different install locations and \\path\to\files in Windows is not the same as /path/to/files in Linux. Lots of scope for incompatibilty and that's before you roll dice with custom skins.

Trying to run the LE repo will create as many problems as it solves. I wouldn't go there

Just install MariaDB on the RPi4 running RaspiOS and follow the HOWTO in the Kodi wiki for setting up a new DB. Most of the well known SQL tools are php based (adminer/phpmysqladmin) and thus require you to have a webserver somewhere to use them, but there are other tools like SquirrelSQL (which is Java based IIRC) that should run anywhere and give you a GUI to help with dumping the existing DB content and importing it to a new DB instance.
NB: In addition to moving the SQL DB content; if you change the paths to the sources (e.g. change SMB server name) you will also need to update paths in the DB else clients will be able to see everything in the DB but nothing will play (as the /path/to/files will be wrong). If things will change and that all sounds too complicated; just setup new sources, new DB, and rescrape. As long as the media is well structured/named everything will rescrape easily and fairly quickly (current python scrapers are much faster than older xml ones from a few years ago) so it's not the worst suggestion.

To use SSH key authentication you need to add your public key to /storage/.ssh/authorized_keys before disabling password access in the LE settings add-on. Note that disabling SSH password auth does not stop the SSH daemon from prompting for passwords; but it does guarantee that no password will be accepted.
