Just tried, it boots up and get into the desktop well, and is a more polished distro than the official ones.
But I found that the GPU driver is not working/no driver at all. Both the XFCE and the browsers are running on llvmpipe. Is this a license issue or it is just not working yet?
armbian never support those libmali closesource shit in its images.
The guy throwing out videos about Armbian doesn’t understand what he’s talking about 
It’s a build system relying on Debian-style tools and as such produces OS images that rely on either the various Debian or Ubuntu distributions: https://docs.armbian.com/#what-is-armbian
Of course it did: video acceleration and ‘libmali closesource shit’ especially for cheap Allwinner boards running on an ancient 3.4 kernel was what made Armbian popular half a decade ago. Maybe the project’s biggest mistake so far (attracting the ‘wrong’ target audience).
Today I tried it an nvme SSD, and it seems like nvme boot is not working. Seems like it would need a special SPI image.
I am using pretty much standard eMMC boot, NVME root without any issues. Trying to use it as a GitHub build runner. Its resourceful enough to assemble images, but compressing and signing is slow.

update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacyGreat news! Looking forward to trying it when I get my Rock 5b.
Does the Legacy in Armbian Legacy refer to it is using the Radxa BSP 5.10 kernel rather than a patched mainline kernel?
And for kubernetes on debian:
apt-get install iptables ebtables arptables
update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy
update-alternatives --set arptables /usr/sbin/arptables-legacy
update-alternatives --set ebtables /usr/sbin/ebtables-legacy
GUI locks up after a few mins of trying to use - so will try will have to try another disto
Does it work with Radxa images without freezing? The reason I ask is we have seen at least one Rock 5b development board on which the GPU doesn’t work correctly and does what you are describing in any GUI or when video framebuffer is used. Do you see any graphical glitching on screen as well? If it does work on Radxa’s images, then you should check the power supply you are using to make sure you have enough power, it would be best to run it at 12V+ for higher workloads and when using m.2 drives.
Cheers!
or compatible nvme
Did not notice any glitches on screen when running Armbian
Running on Radxa Debian image and see not to freeze but I am seeing some graphic glitches
Not using m.2 drive at moment
Will double check power output
Cheers
With the Radxa Debian images, I notice a lot of graphical issues myself, but I assumed that they were driver issues.
With Radxa Debian, opening Chromium and going to https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html works fine for a low number of fish, but when increasing it to higher numbers I see a lot of half-rendered frames and cases where time appears to go backwards. Is this something uncommon or is every board affected?
I think there is something wrong with the build - Radxa Debian build ran good no issues,
But armbian when running hardinfo benchmarks first time it crashed / rebooted, 2nd time ok will do more testing, anything log wise that might be useful?
Rebooted again when trying to sign in to google aaarrraahhh - going to try twistedOS and see how that fares
We are building images with Rockpi 5 and it never crashed. Some devices are faulty …
You know how to change wallpaper? Do you think that will have any influence on functioning?
Ha, ha just it seems that the TwisterOS (Armbian) does not even boot I assume older Kernel / Overlays etc
Will just keep using https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/linux/debian for now and alter the wall paper etc
I guess if the devices is faulty eventual it will crash with that?
我同样遇到了类似的问题,当我运行debian系统的时候
This is not the device broken, it is the mali driver that is broken. Everyone using this debian image experienced this.
