You can enable sshd on the LibreELEC (the currently available Kwiboo build enables it by default) and I guess it shouldn't be too hard to copy debootstrapped Debian into it, and run it in chroot. This should provide Debian packaged software, although without init (systemd) integration - the daemons would have to be started using some custom scripts. Kind of like Linux chroots under Android. What it certainly won't provide is any additional GUI software - the LibreELEC runs KODI without any windowing environment (no X11 or Wayland). So no browser.
I'm currently trying to get hardware accelerated video playback to work with the ayufans 64-bit Debian Stretch build, but at moment I have no idea, whether it I would succeed (don't understand the Linux video acceleration frameworks enough, so just trying to build software packages with available patches for now - fortunately Rock64 is not terribly slow for native builds).
raybuntu has made a recent librelec with the latest from kwiboo & longchair...

In openelec if you add the network tools package through the interface

You may need to use the repo by raybuntu as they have been recompiled
Always thought mweh with LibreElec and never really looked at it.
I am starting to dig it big style and the chromium addon seems very fast.
Some of the Nextcloud devs are creating a better docker container for it that is a bit more comprehensive with Libreoffice included.
LibreElec Kodi/Chromium/Nextcloud is just a great combination or use the Goggle g-suite is so inclined and not bother with nextcloud.
Its provided through the LinuxSever.io which installs docker and gives access to various containers.
I do like it and will be prob how I set my Rock64 up.
