If you are trying to use KODI in Armbian, this automatically means that when you start KODI, you will not be able to do anything else in Armbian. Therefore, I do not see a problem using two systems, Armbian on eMMC\NVMe\SATA and Libreelec on a USB flash drive. When KODI is needed, a USB flash drive is connected and LE is launched from it. To switch to Armbian, turn off the system, disconnect the USB, and when turned on, Armbian starts.

---- Could you give me specific reasons?

KODI is a full-screen application that takes over the entire system. You can't run anything else. To start something else on the desktop, you have to close KODI completely (stop playback completely).
I also use Libreelec to play 4K video, but the results are not good. Video is choppy and CPU usage is high。So are you sure that hard decoding is enabled?
After the system starts, the default video on the desktop is played, and the video skips frames. At the same time, the CPU usage is as follows：
In addition to hardware decoding video, I have to do other work through armbian, but Libreelec can't support.

Armbian can run many virtual machines. I need to start the virtual machine while starting KODI, so I can do more things, right?

No, not like that. No virtual machines. This is the launch of two completely different systems.

Except for KODI, I don't run other GUI applications, but a service running in the background
But like Docker or QEMU, it can be supported in Armbian
