I am running the latest Armbian 21.02.3 on two NanoPCT4s.
Thanks to everyone for this. I didnt think I would see this performance on this device.
But here it is and I see Armbian is getting good notice for this.
I dont know how they did it but these devices are running very well.
I am a little tired this week so I dont have any technical details.
I want to just ramble (opinionate) on how nice this is and what I like about it.
I am running standard Focal Gnome Desktop from Armbian Download.
I just disable the pwm-fan module and run hot.
As long as I dont make -j6 I can avoid meltdowns.
I run Firefox and Microsoft VSCode. I run a complex desktop and my
standard install involves a day of burnin compilation.
I can run Firefox videos and Microsoft Code.
By the way Code can now be downloaded direct from Microsoft.
I run a lot of Python and JavaScript and C++ [avoid Java and C# at the moment
but really I dont have much time considering I do more and more C/C++]
and use Python as scripting language for C. I compile Sage Math 9.2
and that will halt this machine at make -j6 and no fan.
with fan, no problem. but make -j3 works OK with no fan.
After compiling these little ARM devices run SageManifolds doing complex
Jupyter Lab interactions. Pretty slick.
So I think this is a wonderful desktop.
 
I know the Gnome people own GItHub and Microsoft
TypeScript backended on GitHub integrated with the wonderful
Microsoft Code is a great desktop that Armbian is Smart to invest in.
 
more later.
