I found a way to install a number of OS's on the Rock64.
This may already be known but I thought I might pass it along.
1 Install bionic-minimal-rock64-0.6.44-139-arm64.img on you SD or eMMC card, or what ever is the current stable version
2Run bionic-minimal program, login (usually name=rock64 and pw=rock64.
3Now at the prompt issue sudo apt-get install tasksel
4Next run sudo tasksel and you will be presented with a list of OS's.
5With the curser move to the OS you want, I selected ubuntu mate that seems to run fairly good on the rock64
6Use the SPACE bar to select the OS, then tab to the OK and hit the ENTER key.
It may take some time to load.
Ubuntu Mate works great for me.
