Is there a none-headless Linux OS that really works now for Rock64?

I've been using Rock64 systems as routers and NAS systems. 200+ MB/sec USB3 performance and 900Mbits/sec Ethernet real thru-put.

Note that the quality of the power supply is critical to this level of success. But, that said, I'm using inexpensive 5V3A DC-DC converters from China.

No complaints for this application....However, if trying to run an Xorg Desktop w/browser, this system will be marginal performance, IMO.

Well that's the thing. I don't want to run it headless. On paper, the Rock64 is more powerful than a Raspberry Pi 3, which I also have. But no OS that I'm aware of runs Linux well without it being headless. To have one just to work as a NAS alone is such a waste for me when the RPi3 can do more than just that under Raspbian (but with lower bandwidth, of course).
