Oof. That’s exactly what I worry about... who is compiling this “Ubuntu”... is it official upstream? What Kernel patches are they carrying?

  You could also try https://www.armbian.com/odroid-c4/ https://www.armbian.com/odroid-c4/ While i don't have one, i use Armbian on several other systems, and it tends to be stressless. As long as one doesn't use their noob-friendly software installer scripts, which tend to break something. Anyways, it is essentially Debian, or Ubuntu depending on the image you have choosen. edit: I'd go one step further even. If it isn't supported by Armbian, I'd avoid it. Because they tend to be first in delivering a cohesive solution like you'd expect from a distro, and not some patched together pile of something which just runs, is rarely or never updated, and won't run the stuff YOU want to run. Only downside, they lag a bit behind in integrating all that vendor-/boardspecific stuff. But then, who really cares about that when running Debian? :)

    I recently used Armbian for a project (my HW is better supported than openwrt which gave up on the board that I use). Documentation is ok, but I found most of the clues at their forums. The IRC channel was also helpful. And finally the output kernel/image just works.
