LibreELEC 12 Linux distribution launches with Kodi Omega 21 -- download it now!
LibreELEC, the popular open-source Linux-based operating system for Kodi, has officially released its 12.0 version, incorporating the new Kodi (Omega) v21.0. This is a huge update, particularly in upgrading device support and improving overall performance.
One of the major shifts with LibreELEC 12.0 is the move to a 64-bit architecture for several devices, including the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. This change means users upgrading from LibreELEC 11 will need to reinstall Widevine DRM to continue using copy-protected video add-ons such as Prime Video and Netflix. Notably, systems running versions older than LibreELEC 10 will require a clean install due to significant updates in Python 3 since Kodi v19.
