Armbian is probably the only Linux distribution that actually test upgrades on many devices we provide download for https://github.com/armbian/build/actions/workflows/smoke-tests.yml But we can't afford to have them all in the test rig, especially not laptops. This only cover upgrades.
Manually testing all images? Some yes, all - impossible.
Probably this will fix it https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4397 I don't have a device. All I can do is to run another build with this fix and hope it works.
I understand your frustration. I really do. But see other side.
You were fooled by vendor for buying this crap. We are trying the best to keep it operational. I can also use this opportunity to inform you that Pine64 is one of those that never donated a cent to this project even their poor software support is the reasons why our update broke.
In case you want better quality, volunteer directly:

or fund few people so they will take care of this for all of us.
