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.

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).
Could you help to solve it, please ?

Armbian can run many virtual machines. I need to start the virtual machine while starting KODI, so I can do more things, right?
---- Could you give me specific reasons?
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
