The H6 processor it uses isn't well supported yet and is still reasonably new. See support here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainlining_Effort https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainlining_Effort Armbian has only started to work on it, see here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9368-orangepi-3-h6-allwiner-chip/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/9368-orangepi-3-h6-allwiner-... Orange Pi make some great boards, they just take a while for them to be well supported. The Allwinner H2+/H3 which was originally released in 2014 has only got really good software support over the last 2-3 years.
