	JeOS generally refers to a customized operating system that is [[w:Linux on embedded systems\|usually Linux-based]] and that fits the needs of a particular application (like {{Kodi}}). Since these implementations is normally not a generic, one-size-fits-all "desktop" operating system they only need to include the basic pieces of an operating system (e.g. a a Linux kernel, network stack, device drivers, and maintenance tools) required to provide optimized support a particular application and any other third-party components needed to the appliance. This JeOS design concept makes the appliance smaller, faster (to boot and to execute the particular application) and potentially more more stable as well as more secure than an application running under a full general-purpose operating system.

	JeOS generally refers to a customized operating system that is [[w:Linux on embedded systems\|usually Linux-based]] and that fits the needs of a particular application (like {{Kodi}}). Since these implementations is not a generic, one-size-fits-all "desktop" operating system they only need to include the basic pieces of an operating system (e.g. a a Linux kernel, network stack, device drivers, and maintenance tools) required to provide optimized support a particular application and any other third-party components needed to the appliance. This JeOS design concept makes the appliance smaller, faster (to boot and to execute the particular application) and potentially more more stable as well as more secure than an application running under a full general-purpose operating system.

	OpenELEC (short for "Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center") is a free and open source embedded operating system built around its own optimized Linux kernel. It provides s complete media center software suite that comes with a pre-configured version of {{Kodi}} and third-party addons for hardware management and automatic OTA (over-the-air) updates. Over the years OpenELEC have over the years had professional partnerships with several media player manufacturers and media center system integrates as OEM firmware developers, with OpenELEC maintaining the operating-systems on their hardware.

			LibreELEC (short for "Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center") is a non-profit fork of [[OpenELEC]], a small and very fast booting, open source JeOS. LibreELEC is a complete media center software suite for embedded systems and computers, as it comes with a pre-configured version of Kodi and optional third-party [[PVR]] backend software.
