RPI is not doing me any favors? I write an image with Etcher, it boots, i get the option to run the OS live or install it. I installed it. Now its an SMB server and VPN server, and works very well.
With the Rock 64 and Ubuntu Mate or Debian Stretch, its only a live CD version, i cant change passwords, cant add users, nothing.
So can I do a real install of Debian Stretch or ubuntu Mate with the Rock 64?
