Download LibreELEC 7.90.008 alpha

The guys behind the Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center are developing version 8.0 of LibreELEC and have now released an early test version. LibreELEC was created after a large number of developers left OpenELEC due to disagreements and started their own business. This Linux distribution is based on Kodi and can turn a computer into a full-fledged htpc. Version 8.0 of LibreELEC uses Kodi version 17 as its base, which itself is currently on beta 5. The release notes for this release can be found below.
