New to the Pine64 : Distro recommendation

[MarkHaysHarris777]

hi, the answer to your question depends what you mean by very slow.

... if you mean video latency (video fps response, as a media or gaming center) this is a known problem which is being addressed now; its not quite there yet.

Let me answer your question this way; I am using my PineA64 as my normal standard desk PC now for more than 10 weeks--- most of this summer (debian mate). It is VERY responsive and handles my day to day tasks very well--- honestly.

On the other hand, folks trying to use the PineA64 board as a media center appliance are having some issues; mostly related to the video. Also, some are having ethernet issues (speeds of 1 GbE) which is also being addressed now, but which so far do not have solid solutions (it will get there, just not there yet).

So, the question is, what do you want to use your PineA64 for; why did you purchase it, and what were your expectations?
