Doubts about rock64 - leocrptorres@gmail.com - 12-13-2017
Hi guys ! I'm searching for a board and i loved the many options here, including the pinebook, and i have my 1° contact now with PINE64 ..
My objective is a cheap computer running UBUNTU.
I have some doubts , and i guess you can help me
1. Raspberry PI 3 X tinkerboard x ROCK64 ? Your personal experience
2. Endless OS is supported ? https://support.endlessm.com/hc/en-us/articles/210526863-Will-Endless-OS-work-with-my-computer-
3. Rock64 has native wi-fi ? A Module wi-fi?
4. PIDESKTOP is compatible ? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14354

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.

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