There is Ubuntu (actively developed
available for the R64) with and without DE.
I will let community members answer 1), but I guess that the answer is "depends what you want to use the board for". However, I think you most would agree you probably should
stay away from the tinkerboard.
2) If they have ARM rootfs then I guess you could - there isn't an image available however, and I doubt someone will jump to make one.
3) No and No. If you want WiFi then you'll have to use USB
4) The RPI has terribly slow IO - so forget about that box. The R64 on the other hand features a full speed USB 3.0 and GbE.

just once and PLEASE r

I'm sticking with odroid xu4 until there is better software for the ROCK64.
