what the Kodi version inside TwisterOS?
and what the difference vs Armbian?
Im looking for OS with simple XFCE with xrdp access + Kodi.
and seems TwisterOS will work?

[jtremblant]

Kodi Leia 18.4, TwisterOS is an armbian mainline based build with themes and eye candy stuff, retro gaming apps, x86 and x64 emulation and video reproduction with panfrost graphics acceleration on desktop that works out-of-the-box. It runs great too. If you’re looking for something simple maybe Vanilla Armbian is best for you. There’s only one way to find out…

Is it possible to test Heroes 3 or Heroes 5?

[jtremblant]

We haven’t done it yet, Heroes 3 has an open source implementation.
