Void Linux is probably possible.
#11
Currently, working Void images with kernel 5.6 can be found here: https://github.com/void-linux/void-mkliv...-589158795

Kernel 5.7 will be installed from repo when you update, and works as well

The 20200317 images boot up nicely from both microSD and eMMC

As illustrated in this comment, we will need updated u-boot before mainline/5.8 kernel can be booted
#12
A couple questions, but 1st my impressions
login, took a bit of searching, I've changed, IIRR root:voidLinux
startx,, nope
ifconfig,, nope (just what is wrong with ifconfig??)
up arrow ,, nope Oh ... sh
bash,, yes!
At least there are the normal vt's, unlike bsd that maybe you can get working somehow
I guess i remember how ,, wpa_supplicant, that's all there is
So, update, install, more install and again and again and again
sddm,, yes! ,, all a bit plain, lots of customization still needed
BUT,,BUT the cube WORKS, this is the 1st time I have seen that on arm!
That impresses me
Sleep really matters to me, for a few reasons
from /etc/acpi/handler.sh,, dbus has to be running?
Probably in runit?
I know how to set up with systemd, not runit
How/where to increase terminal font size? ,, these old eyes have trouble with microscopic fonts

startx won't work until you install (at least) xorg-minimal and create ~/.xinitrc

ifconfig is deprecated, use `ip addr`

root's default shell is /bin/sh, create an unprivileged user to enjoy the comforts of the bash shell

wpa_supplicant is there by default, NetworkManager in repos
`wifish` is a good tool to control wpa_supplicant without mucking about in wpa_cli

sleep currently doesn't work on rk3399 (in any distro I believe, not supported in mainline kernel yet)

acpid is installed by default (enable with `ln -s /etc/sv/acpid /var/service/acpid`) and then you will be able to handle power events with /etc/acpi/handler.sh
sleep still won't work though

not actually sure how to increase font size in tty, I believe it's baked into the kernel/initramfs somehow
#14
>sleep currently doesn't work on rk3399 (in any distro I believe, not supported in mainline kernel yet)
You are correct, not in mainline
I misspoke, tsy kernel has suspend 3 (manjaro), works fine, ~ 6-8%/day
uname -r 5.8.3-2-MANJARO-ARM
suspend to ram
This, of course, makes running off SD much more feasible.
Still need a good one, at least, for updates
The boot is indeed slow, but wake is ~10s, wifi another ~12s
Thanks for answers
