This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

- jazzyjackson 3y agoI had a good experience with Armbian, it was my first time modifying a linux distro with extra packages so that we didn't have to run install scripts and compile on the orange pi (actually I started looking at how to build armbian because the build step for python's crypto module would fail after cranking away for an hour. Not enough memory or something timed out. Anyway running the armbian build process with a target cpu architecture was a breeze following their docs)
