Let's face it, if we were not liable to do stuff like that we would have brought a b****y Mac.
I also downloaded the beta, assuming that you mean:
Armbian_5.20_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.102.7z
I wonder if my 2a wall wart can actually supply enough current ? Would Linux require very more current than Android ?
lol... good response... although the only good use for a Mac (used to be) is as a boat anchor :-O
No, I meant the beta image, as per the link in my message earlier...
5.20 is the current release build, 5.24 (desktop) is the current beta, and 5.25 should't be too far away. Try that image, and make the changes noted at the bottom of the pine64 armbian notes re: 5.24 LCD support. If it doesn't work... yell and scream at tkasier over on the Armbian forum... as he wrote the docs saying it works! :-P But seriously, let us know how you go...
I would think if you can run Android without any issue, then linux won't be an issue... I would actually expect linux to be more power friendly when idle, etc, but I can't say from experience which is the more power taxing.
