As far as I can tell, my only option is to install Android Lollipop (which is useless to me). I'm very disappointed that I paid extra for the 2GB model and cannot use it as advertised. Any idea when either of those OSes will be fixed? In the meantime, do I have any other options besides Android??
I have the 2 GB model and was able to get Arch Linux to install and run fine with ethernet plugged in, But when it came to trying Remix OS I was able to get it to boot to the main screen but as soon as I plugged the ethernet in, the os just kept rebooting and would not stop. I feel your pain, though, they really need to have some other operating system other than android that runs smoothly, otherwise this board is basically useless to some, if not most people who bought it for projects or other things that need something other than android.
