LibreELEC (short for Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center) is a non-profit fork of OpenELEC open-source software appliance, a dedicated Linux-based Just enough operating system (embedded Linux distribution) for the Kodi (formerly XBMC) media player software for HTPC (Home theater PC) which is used as a 10-foot user interface frontend for use with televisions and remote controls (instead of a classic desktop environment for Linux).

This fork of OpenELEC was originally announced in March 2016 as a split from the OpenELEC team after "creative differences", taking most of its active developers at the time to join the new LibreELEC project.[2][3][4][5] This is a conservative fork of the OpenELEC project with a stronger focus on pre-release testing and post-release change management.[5]
