LibreELEC 12.2 arrives with Kodi 21.2 'Omega' and better Raspberry Pi support


LibreELEC has released version 12.2 of its lightweight Linux distribution, which is built specifically to run Kodi. The new update focuses on hardware support, removal of older components, and the integration of Kodi 21.2 ‘Omega’.
Users gain access to the current stable build of the popular home theater software in which Kodi developers backported a small set of improvements after the original 21.2 release. No 21.3 version is currently planned.
LibreELEC 12.0.2, the Linux distribution for Kodi, gets feature-packed Omega 21.2 update


LibreELEC, the lightweight Linux distribution designed exclusively to run Kodi, has released version 12.0.2. This latest update brings Kodi (Omega) 21.2 along with several notable changes and improvements. However, users running 64-bit ARM SoC devices like the Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 should pay close attention to the transition from ‘arm’ to ‘aarch64’ userspace.
Due to this switch, manual updates through LibreELEC settings won’t show version 12.0 releases on these devices, as there are no matching arm images available. To update, users will need to manually place a LibreELEC 12 file into /storage/.update and reboot.
