Hey folks, so today I started to use the orange pi 5 as my daily driver for working. I'm using Armbian_23.02.0-trunk.0143_Orangepi5_jammy_legacy_5.10.110, installed to my nvme ssd by using balenaetcher -- following the official docs on how to install the OS to the NVME SSD. Then I use tasksel to install Gnome as the Desktop Environment. Got couple time failure on the process, but repeating the process via `dpkg --configure -a` finally I'm able to install it.
 
I've tried multiple desktop environment, and Gnome with Wayland is working perfectly on top of Armbian. I don't really sure how to check the hardware acceleration is working or not, but comparing to KDE with x11, gnome feels faster and more smooth.
 
Tried to use HDMI, Type C as display, work out of the box. Audio & Mic via USB work perfectly. I also use all the ports, including the vertical usb. Vertical USB sometimes not working when you attach something to the board while it running. But if you attach it before runs the system, it works perfectly. Attaching webcam on type c works out of the box too.
 
Thanks for the effort folks! Really excited to see Armbian moving forward!

I think this is not really a specific Orange pi 5 thing. It would be better to ask this in the right section and then give more details about what you did when you got that error message.
