Same issue on my setup, tried usb-c display port and hdmi, so must be that some fixes are still needed, but the live iso runs all good and it seems quite speedy.
Archlinux for Orion
To which live iso are you refering ?
The BredOS live image, sorry for the confusion.
NP. Can you just link it ? because I cannot find any live image but a bunch of different isos that are not named âliveâ anything
https://github.com/BredOS/BredOS-iso/releases/download/2025-03-21/BredOS-ORION-O6-2025.03.21-aarch64.iso this is the iso I used, I was referring to this as the live image.
This image wonât boot on my platform. I tried rufus, balena. Flashing it on an external drive (SSD and stick) through USB C and USB A. Also tried to flash internal drive. Never boots.
Changed stuff in BIOS, nothing changed. I feel alone x)
At startup, wait a little longer and the installation menu will appear.
No it wonât. The board reboots
Booting off of the internal nvme does not work for me either. I am runing the board off a 65w charger. Have you used the ATX PSU route or a usb c charger? Maybe there might be an issue with the power delivery when booting, other than that I canât think of anything different from what I have tried.
You could try a daily build of ubuntu 25.04 arm and see if that one is working. Outside of no audio and no wifi, that image I was able to install on nvme with luks encryption, but due to time constrictions, I havenât done much else.
I run it over a 300 watts USB-C GAN power source. I have no ATX PSU to test, yet it might be a path to explore.
I just booted Ubuntu 25.04 for arm desktop. had to disable the SPCR table in the bios, along With LDI0 turned off and Full performance to OS turned off.
Ethernet works, but no audio, nor GPU or wifi.
I am really waiting for a future release that offers at least GPU support out of the box bc relying on LLVM hits the CPU performance hard. so far I have tried to gather or recompile .Debs to install GPU and wifi on debian, but it always failed either breaking distro or kernel. And I am not good enough in linux stuff to dig further âŚ
Well, the good news is that basically over the next few mesa releases, the gpu should become functional, but with Ubuntu, that means that we might see all the fixes maybe in the 25.10 release.
Actually I am not distro closed minded. If the first distro that offers me a sufficient working env (let it be good perf, GPU, WLAN / LAN / BT / Audio) iâll go for it no matter if it is arch fedo or debian based. But for the moment everything looks quite messy to say the least.
Unfortunately, I havenât had much success with manjaro arm on the old bios. Havenât tried the new bios with a manjaro build, but hopefully that might work better earlier than Ubuntu 25.10
Time will tell. I just want to work with this thing

Manjaro is an enemy of the Arch Linux community and people shouldnât be trying to use it or give them money. They do not deliver proper upstream Arch packages or contribute anything to the community, not packages, financials, or wiki updates. It is broken and canât build or run normal AUR packages due to version mismatches. They only leach off the Arch community tricking newbies into giving them donations that their board uses to by $5k laptops.
Everyone should see here for my first Arch Linux Image release targeting the Orion and most RK3588 boards. This should satisfy most folks requirements for basic operations for now, while I figure out waydroid issues, IGPU missing bits, and how to package wine/hangover/box64 later.
You also should be able to easily add BredOS repo to it and start installing their packages (at least the 64-bit only packages), although I didnât test that part yet the key installation and mirror file adding was done properly at least.
Folks can request some other DEs and with QEMU native performance passthrough mode I can test them reasonably quickly for the next release. I at least plan to do plasma 6 desktop. I might actually try to put out a plasma mobile and Phosh also for folks that have RK3588 tablets, since normal DEs arenât good for that, and the original script had Phosh/Plasma mobile already.
I saw your build, I am quite interested in it, but maybe once the iGPU would be working, as now I would have to dismantle my PC for the GPU and the PSU.
Youâre stuck in the past bro. 
Anyways. Once the board is upstreamed then users can use Manjaro Arm Linux on it too.
