My experience so far

Kodi (LibreELEC) was running rough on an old i5 4160 or something, when installed on an SD card. It also runs a little sluggish when installed on a Chromebook.

But I went back to that first PC with a real SSD and now kodi is running fantastic. On a fedora kinoite install

And paired with some commands for KDE Connect, and I’m pretty satisfied so far. It’s been about four days with it.
