I get the feeling you're on your own now when it comes to the Rock series of boards. It really is a case use whatever Distro boots for you. When they do boot they are very stable. I've Armbian Buster running on one Rock64, Android 9 on another and LibreElec running on a RockPro64. All running 24/7 from an SD card and so far no problems. Once you're not hammering the SD card with multiple writes its a safe enough medium to use.
