After having read this thread, I hesitate using anything from Armbian https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7692
Nobody can demand support for anything, especially if one gives nothing - our private resources are very tiny, especially if we have no hardware, no financial support from hardware maker and especially if he was extremely hostile in his demands. Public donations barely covers download servers costs ...
He didn't take NO for an answer, which was polite: (if he NEED, he need to hire people and not abuse non-profit projects)

Checking if he is correct or we + answering him = 1 hour.
Then he proceed to raise a ticket for Armbian documentation (???)
https://github.com/armbian/documentation/issues/49
Which means he made another several hundreds EUR of damage to the non-profit project he (probably) never give anything to. And he made a damage to our reputation.
I had to lock down communication which only happens once per two years.
Dealing with choleric "clients" is emotionally very expensive. Welcome to help dealing with such situations - that we can deal with R&D.

About 500-1000 people gets on one person that know something ... We have no resources to talk with end-users. Its a huge emotional and financial cost, nobody covers and we can't expand this, so we have to limit support. This is also one of the major reasons why we don't want to deal with Raspberry Pi .. and its mainly illiterate crowd.
