I tested already armbian on my odroid c2 and it has the same performance like ubuntu minimal. I tested alpine linux on my raspberry pi 2 and it performs even faster on that older board than armbian on the newer one. I think on the rock64 it is the same.
For example the user case of a kiosk system, there is no need of a full desktop, you only need the browser running. But the browser experience has to be fast. For the rock64, the only os with a good browser performance is android. But a kiosk system has to be secure, so alpine linux would be the best solution.
Alpine linux comes with armhf and aarch64 images, so perhaps it boots also with the mainline kernel. On the odroid c2 it is already working, but there is already a good mainline kernel support. How good is the mainline kernel support for the rock64?
But for a good browser experience i think the kernel has to be compiled. Is there a good tutorial how to compile the kernel?
