I also happened to get an X88pro13 TV box on my desk. Since it promises good performance, I've been experimenting with getting Armbian running..
My first attempts look promising.
Armbian-update and armbian-config are working. It could be a good platform for Smart-Home,
Console and desktop Armbian is running well.
