According to the Kodi description, it wants to embrace the UI paradigm
of the 'ten foot interface'.

So, I would picture some Kodi 'fiends' as wanting to sit back in their
easy chair in front of a big screen TV and surround sound speakers to
get 'big' audio and video experiences.

The kb/mouse doesn't actually quite fit that 10' paradigm.

Personally, I'm a 'desktop' person whose computer/online experiences are
full-sized keyboard and mouse and monitor and I don't even (normally)
use a cellphone.  My home phones are 'upgraded' (to VoIP) landline
cordless phones and there are 'old' landline corded and cordless phones
all over the house, all now voip.

So, I'm not really 'into' using a handheld touchscreen device to
interface w/ what I'm doing, BUT...

... I can see some 'uses' for such a concept, ie witness the cellphone
users who 'do everything' w/ their cell.

There was a time long ago that I was very much into audio and video
'power'.  I could imagine doing some of that again digitally w/ the
little Pi at the heart of the matter.

It might be that LibreElec isn't the ideal way to achieve that paradigm.
  There are others such as OSMC or Xbian.

Or, maybe my first step should be Kodi on Raspbian w/ desktop interface,
then Kodi on a libreelec-like in the computer room, then kodi-libreelec
at the big screen.
