1) How much space would be reasonable to allocate to Raspbian? If the intention is only to use it as a web surfing, file editing, proof of concept type thing then I would say maybe only up to 2GB? I guess what Im ultimately asking is – what are you going to use Raspbian to do? Maybe then I can use my own judgement.
2) Handling the OS switching – so its self explanatory with RetroPie and KODI (have a dedicated home page menu for both), however in Raspbian, I can only think about placing shortcuts on the desktop which will run my scripts. This gives the potential of the shortcuts being deleted of course, so I wonder if there is another way that I am maybe not thinking of?? Anyone have any thoughts? I can probably implement them into the start menu, so theres one option.

1) I think most of us will only use it for web serfing..So a 2GB allocation would be ok
2) You could add a script (in a custom AEON home menu named Rasbian, and under that a “launch Raspbian” indication exactly like Games with “launch retropie”). From the Raspbian side of view – i dont know if it possible – we should hit power off/shutdown and going back in kodi..
