Yes!! Thank you finally a Linux based distro where I can use my rp64 as a silent media consumption box, have tried all available linux distros and other os, even twister in the past and even after tweaks performance was not gr8.
Installed latest 2.0.3, just to try out, as i usually do every 6 moths or so checking all distros/os , installed the desktop link for docker and didn't work, had to follow the read me instructions on the chromium-armhf folder, took me 2 days to get it up very likely cause apparently some armbian repository links where down, so really wasn't getting correct update repositories so list didn't update and some dependancies where missing when building, but finally got it to work and running, totally worth it! can watch streams, netflix and youtube on 1080p running great and board does not become a toaster, have a northbridge heatsink and keeps it under 70 so dont have to care anymore for fan control since its not needed.
System is snappy enough and desktop is sexy, even though im not a xfce fan, but gotta love how customizable it is.
Thanks for this wonderfull distro, best distro ive tried to date, finally can use my rp64 as media box
, also thanks to the guys at armbian since its armbian based, wow just so happy waited a long time for this im sure pine book pro owners will also be happy with this.
PS. if anyone needs help installing the docker on their rp64 on twister im in pine64 discord under same handle as i got in this forum, do usually take some time to answer but this joy needs to be shared so if anyone has trouble making the chromium docker work dm me
