Pine64 as a viable desktop replacement ? here are my thoughts!

Viable Desktop on Pine?

Sounds like an oxymoron!

I've found the RPi3 to be VASTLY more stable and faster than Pine at just about everything I throw at it... It helps that the Raspberry PI foundation develop a ROCK SOLID platform to run on the hardware... I'm not trying to take anything away from the awesome work that Longsleep does.... but that can't be easy - doing it for free! It would be nice if the "VENDOR" could throw in a few thousand hours of manpower to get this "super computer" working nicely with Linux...

And the Orange Pi+ 2E with Armbian is orders of magnitude faster and more stable than Pine64...

the only Pine (I've got 2 x 2 GB) that I use regularly runs headless with Armbian... and I've removed the $10 wifi "hat" because it's just too flaky and bluetooth has never worked for me...
