I had the board before I met armbian XD although I was not disappointed, I do several things: - Edit documents with WPS Office(better looking than LibreOffice) - Listen to YouTube music with FreeTube (configured for audio only) - Browse with Firefox but only non-demanding pages (no YouTube XD) - I have arduino-IDE installed although I have not yet tried to program a board (Chinese version-Aliexpress) When someone understands the limitations of the board or the software being used then they can enjoy it , that's my opinion as "average Joe" who knows next to nothing about Linux XD. [I thank balbes150, translated with google translator]

Thanks for answering I will wait to see how it evolves.

@NicoD If I have not misunderstood, RK3399 is the most compatible with Armbian to get all its potential. Especially what board with RK3399 recommends? I ask that question because I am an "average Joe" and I can not make Armbian use all the potential of my board (TVBOX X96MINI, AMLOGIC S905W), nor is there sound at the analog output and suffers when opening Youtube at 240p, but it serves to write in the forum xD.

@forever_ noobSo, until now, there is no Arm Board that allows you to see Youtube in the browser (in Armbian) using hardware acceleration?

This is a request from an average Joe, I would like to know if all the boards listed in the "supported" section of "downloads" support hardware acceleration and overclocking or which ones are compatible, so that I can choose the most suitable board from that list. It is understandable that balbes150 abandoned the support for the tvbox and it is a pity that there is not a shitty tvbox with its respective documentation and its respective drivers, it would be a marvel for Latin America (that's where I come from) XD because imagine having a cheap device that you It allows you to have a pc to write your report in Writer and a training center with android tv to watch your shitty netflix that you pay between several people. Thanks to @balbes150 for his great work that allowed me to convert my shitty tv box (X96mini, s905w, 2GB RAM + 16GB EMMC) into an armbian pc (from the debian line) which will hurt less if I get stolen on the way to the university unlike my laptop which costs 20 times more And thanks to Steeman because he could be the one to answer my request XD. Y gracias a @SteeMan porque podría ser él quien responda a mi petición XD. [Translated with google translator]

Obtuve este apk "UPDATE & BACKUP" de una rom X96 mini android 7.1.2, así que tal vez funcione para ti, así que instálalo y pruébalo com.droidlogic.otaupgrade_2.0201411271418.apk

If you wish, you can flash an Android rom on your tvbox using the Amlogic USB Burning tool, and then from android use the "Update & Backup" application to update using aml_autoscript.zip that would be on your microSD card.

I share with you my ".conf" file and a post I made where I put together everything that helped me install armbian. extlinux.conf

I recommend that you start armbian for the first time with the dongles connected (WiFi, Bluetooth) and maybe avoid configuring them manually, I did not have a pleasant experience using YouTube and I do not know if there is hardware acceleration or if mali450 is being used, but for other types of pages works fine (I think it does). Use a class 10 A1 microSD because otherwise it will be worse than expected and improve the ventilation of your tvbox or else XD will melt. @SteeManI would like to know if armbian and android can be used at the same time in the same emmc, it would be great :).

I was hoping to use the tv box as a cheap PC, because I have a bluetooth connection thanks to the CSR 4.0 adapter and a wifi connection thanks to the TL-WN722N v1.0 adapter Version: Armbian 20.10 Focal with Linux 5.9.0-arm-64, using dtb for TX3 mini (I had previously used a rom for this device on my TV Box, so I tried my luck and it did not cause me any problems) Model: X96 mini [CPU: S905w, RAM: 2GB, EMMC: 16GB, WiFi: SV6051P (they say there is a driver that maybe works, but nobody wanted to rewrite it)] Micro SD: SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 A1 There are several things that I do not know because I am a newbie to this topic and I would like to get the full potential of the TvBox so I will do my best with the information from the forum.
