After a couple days of testing arch arm and manjaro arm I've got what I wanted DE wise. Manjaro installer needs qemu ? Went with a older image and updated it. Works fine. Lots of freezes with no log info. Go back to Arch.
Same thing lots of freezes. No idea why. Heard its common to have power plug issues mines 5v 3a as recommended.
Network TX offload off helps with ssh about it. SDcards tried usb hdd and 2 dif sdcards. that's not it. v2 vs v3 boards the maker revised a resistor and pull up voltage on the nic port from 1.8.v to 3.3v. Could be the issue. Seems to not freeze longer if no DE is up that's for sure.
Got alarm working with lima driver (not llvmpipe) on both KDE Plasma and LXDE...but the freezes make them unusable. I did nothing special with Arch arm to get the DE's up but use pacman and stable repos.
I'll try armbian and fedora next . If I cant find a non freezing OS I'll ebay this pos and leave arm alone. Not worth the frustration.
