Hi,
I agree with @CaptainZalo. I tried both Debian and Ubuntu and both worked great. Debian was a fit with my Raspberry Pi experience, and so I have stuck with it and have been super happy with it. Everything works as expected although we do not have hardware display acceleration. (Hardware acceleration is being actively worked on by the community.) However, my use case is as a headless server and so lack of a hardware enabled video driver does not really bother me.
Enjoy your new Pine64!
