Rock64 - Use as desktop

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Before I answer your question allow me to say that I have been using the PineA64 as primary desktop system (by choice for research) since last November;  

... the Rock64 is going to be a great desktop option;  as a one-design for instance, the Rock64 can be bolted to the back of a Samsung LED flat panel (wifi dongle) and Logitech wireless keyboard -- either the K400+ , K400r , or K360;  with Logitech Track marble M570.

The Rock64 is going to be a better option than the Pine64 because its a better video processor ;  even for gnu+linux !

The Rock64 is also going to be a better option because of the eMMC availability;  that with usb3.0 (and usb sata bridge) the performance storage options are also available. You can make a very nice desktop system;  several of us have !

   Lukasz makes a good point  ( I'll let that stand ).

Here is the rub:

Your comment that you want to be comfortable;   ha!   If you want to be comfortable buy a wintel appliance and sit back and relax;  or spend a lot of bucks with an apple appliance;  you'll be comfortable.   With SBC(s) you will need to tinker, and you'll need to be very patient;  but, I spare you.  Just be aware that "relaxing" may not be part of the gig.

SBC(s) are still experimental, and the images we are working with are definitely experimental;  You will get out of them what you put into them.  Don't expect to be "comfortable".
