ok so i flashed libre elec to my 16 gig ultra sandisk sd installed physically and updated it as per usual…  
and i flashed Ubuntu 20-10 to my 120 gig ssd m-2 drive fitted both  
got a kvm switch edited the bootloader so it defaults to ssd boot …  
now when i switch out the the kvm it boots libre elec… so i them have a second ssd plugged into the spare usb 3 port and can use this to view files etc… simple but effective… i am shure there is an easier way but i had the junk lying round …

Nice idea Brian!

PS, how handy are KVM switches! Got one here on the returns bench. Makes it so much easier when working on/testing Pis and switching between the PC and the Pi.
