Personally, I prefer the latter as I like to have a system that - once I got it working - keeps working and does not occasionally break after updates. If you are more on the edgy side and want to have the newest stuff, a rolling distro might be the better option. Also, when running on not-so-well-supported hardware (like the PINE-H64) hardware support might be a lot better.
Yet, I think that it's pretty feasible to run the H6 with the combination of Debian stable and an unstable kernel (eventually using a usb-ethernet-adapter if the driver makes trouble). The upcoming Debian 11 version (bullseye) should have better support for the H6, although I doubt it will officially support it ootb.
Again thank you for the info.
I had issues with Ubuntu, especially when they added the "null" session ( geust user) years ago. I just "fixed" 2 laptops belonging to my wife and daughter operating on windows, my daughter's required a new hard drive and Trisquel. As much as it was a pain, it is nice to see her use Linux.
I am leary about Debian due to it's origins, that is all I can say on the matter.
I looked up the differences ( h64/ Rock pro) and indeed you are correct.
I suppose if I go the H64 route, I would have to wait for the Manjaro community to provide a specific immage for it's startup requirements and system requirements.
