[Noob distro inquiry? picture included.]

@Nick A I tried the Armbian-unofficial_25.05.0-trunk_X96q-lpddr3_bookworm_edge_6.12.11_xfce_desktop.img

 I don't really know what I'm doing tbh, but it seems like mostly everything works except wifi. 

Don't know if this is of any interest, but here is a UART log of the first boot.

So there is some conflicting naming between the name of the unit and the name on the board revision code.

 

The name of the unit would suggest that it's a X96-Q clone,

but the revision number suggests that it's a T95 mini. Like as seen in this video
