You might be curious about CoreELEC. CoreELEC is a ‘Just enough OS’ Linux distribution based on Kodi1 technology for popular Amlogic hardware. If you just use Kodi under Beelink products, or looking for video & audio quality, speed, convenience and additional features using Kodi. You going to love CoreELEC!
CoreELEC 9.2.1 is loaded with Kodi 18.5.
CoreELEC Official website: https://CoreELEC.org/
You can have CoreELEC installed and run off of Micro-SD Card, or USB flash drive and nothing is written to the eMMC storage. This means you can return back to Android, just exactly how you have left it.., easily. Simply turn off device, disconnect media with CoreELEC and turn on the device. Or keep the media connected and simply instruct it to boot to Android via shutdown screen.

If you going to use it on SD Card, make sure that you using Class 10 card for best experience or just use USB flash drive. Get the lay of the land with CoreELEC and after such time, you decided that replacing Android system on your box is better option for you, you certainly can! Not difficult to install CoreELEC on your unit eMMC storage.

Beelink units that I know that can run CoreELEC, GT1-A, and GT1 Mini. GT1 Mini now has both USB ports functional as of today, February 02, 2021. At this moment you need the DTB updated file, avilable at https://discourse.coreelec.org/t/beelink-gt1-mini-coreelec-no-usbv2-port/8964/72?u=phant0m
Also the GT1 Mini like some Amlogic devices have problems with wake-up from suspend, power off by IR remote, CEC or WOL, and this is related to the Beelink bootloader. CoreELEC has a solution for this, their BL301 injection which manipulates small portion of the bootloader to correct mistakes made by the box vendor.

I also have done the work to have my GT1 Mini box power button work to power it off while running under CoreELEC Kodi. I also have it that a longer press show the CoreELEC Kodi shutdown options screen to appear. Had to ensure that my Mini keyboard also offers this convenience by using it's home button.
This convenience I can make available, and it should be good for all Beelink units that uses the Beelink 2.4G Fly Air Mouse. Also not specific to keyboard either. Also just as easy to reverse the long press for normal press, instead have the normal power button press show the CoreELEC Kodi shutdown options screen to appear while long press of the power button causes instance shutdown.
