Download LibreELEC 8.0.2

The developers behind the Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center have released version 8.0.2. 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 8.0.1 of LibreELEC uses Kodi version 17.3 as its base, which was released recently. The release notes for this release can be found below.
