I need desktop solution, or at least android system. Currently non of which can work properly on this board.

Sorry I'm bit upset...

If you want a good (as far as the SOC and state of development permits) Linux desktop experience then follow follow the linked tutorial. 
What is your issue with Android? I have a ATV build running since what seems to be forever and it blows everything/anything that RPI has to offer in terms of media consumption...

issue with android is: I have WIFI and Bluetooth USB dongles and non of them operational in Android, however worked on Linux straight away.

wifi is rtl8192cu and I've tried also rtl8192eu, non of the work in android, most probably lack of drivers... same with bluetooth, I do not know the chipset, but it's 4.1bluetooth and it works in linux too, but not in android.

thanks for tutorial with desktop solution, currently I'm about to install the same and test it!

Also, if you want media playback, why not use LibreELEC ? All my BT and WiFi dongles work, there is docker so you can do a bunch of other things (even run a full debian) and a lot of native add-ons .... Not to mention that the latest alpha build is running really  well for me.

Sorry to hijack the thread, ive seen you also have a rtl8812au and i see you mentioning here that it works on the libreelec build but i was unable to make it work on my rock64, what libreelec version did you try? can it be a device id problem? mine is an tp-link t4uhp (2357:010f)...if its a device id problem you know any solution? (my linux knowledge is somehow limited)

No clue, mine just works. And not only the rtl8812au but also a bunch of cheapo (small) WiFi dongles I've got lying around. I am currently using leia24, but I've had no issues with either BT or WiFi dongles since leia21 if I remember correctly. If need be, ask in the LibreELEC thread - perhaps Raybuntu will have a suggestion as to what the cause may be.
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
