Rock64 - Use as desktop

I have ODROID-C1, ODROID-C2 and PINE64. I have to say that Linux desktop on them are quiet sluggish.
Most cannot play YouTube HD videos or Netflix. Android works much better since the SOC manufacturer supports it.
Linux fans tend to be over optimistic about their desktop -Smile. This is just the reality of the situation.
If you want to run Linux desktop the Rapsberry Pi 3 is still the best choice. At least they have worked on optimizing their platform
for many years.

Pi3 for desktop use? its sluggish and borderline unusable as a desktop, especially if you use anything other than Raspbian (great board for other things tho!). The Rock64 has been out just a couple of days - and despite the early images hurdles and bugs it already makes for a better desktop replacement than the RPI3 ...
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
