Edit Reason: added "stretch"

@Kwiboo -
Thank you for the quick reply!! While I really like Raybuntu's LibreELEC image, I don't like that the LibreELEC file system is read only (due to the compression I think), and I don't like that I can't just drop to command line from KODI and then install additional packages, such as retropie/retroarch/emulation/etc. My attempts at streamlining them into a custom LibreELEC build have failed and I don't know how to (if it's even possible) add them into an already existing LibreELEC install and have them all interact with one another. Perhaps that's something you can provide insight on? Is that possible and if so how would I do that and call them from within KODI?
If I can't find a way to add any linux package to LibreELEC without having to recompile, then my goal would be to have a Debian Stretch install using the newest kernel that I can install any package on, the first of which would be LEIA with the optimal config, like what can be found within raybunt's LibreELEC (it's my understanding that LEIA doesn't use X11 and will perform better than Krypton will on the ROCK64, right?). I haven't been able to find any DEB packages for LEIA that support the ARM64 (and aren't meant for iOS) to even test, and even if I could I'm guessing they wouldn't be optimized to use HW decoding/accelleration. Which likely leads me to having to compile my own from source.
I'm comfortable doing custom builds, but I need some guidance, please! My preference would probably be to know what source and build flags to use in order to correctly compile a debian stretch package for KODI using optimal settings for the ROCK64 hardware so it performs the same as the raybuntu LibreELEC install. (I'm not opposed to using jessie instead of stretch if it's better for compatibility, but obviously my preference would be stretch as it's newer)... or unless you know of that already compiled in a debian package that I can download?
An alternative would be understand how to install any package I'd like (just like a standard APT-GET) alongside an already installed Raybuntu LibreELEC (without needing to recompile every time).
As always, thank you so much for your time and feedback! I really hope you can provide some guidance here, and I'll gladly share any of my results with the forum.
