Hi,
I am considering setting up Rock64 as a desktop system. I am comfortable with Linux, so the flavor really does not matter.
What I want to achieve is a complete desktop solution with Rock64 + Wifi + 64 GB eMMC.
My questions are:

My questions are:
- Do the Linux images released contain all the drivers needed? In other words, will I be able to assemble the system, flash the eMMC, boot and everything just works?
- Does the distros available for download use their official repositories (Ubuntu, Debian, Arch... ) or do we need to use ayufan's repositories?
- Can we enable distro's official ARM repository and be able to download software, or are we restricted to Pine64 repositories?
- I see the A/V jack on the board. Is this for a general purpose 3.5 mm sound jack?
These are the questions that are holding me back from ordering, really.
Thank you for your replies!
