  1. Focal and Buster have nothing to do with the architecture. Both flavors are available for armhf (32bit arm) and arm64 (64bit arm).

    Btw. running armhf binaries in compat on arm64 is not supported by either one of those.

     

    You never had to use armbian-config. It is just a tool for lazy people and newbies. You are free to do everything by hand. It is included in every Armbian image.

     

    I discussed further differences between the flavors here:

     

  2. Debian is known to be rocksolid and stable. The software included therefore is older than upstream because its extensivly tested. Bug fixes are usually backported.

     

    To make it easy Ubuntu is a Fork of Debian, mostly unstable or experimental branch, adds some fancy desktop stuff and label it stable.

    Also Ubuntu maintains only a fraction of the packages includeed by themselves. Most are in "universe" and "multiverse" repositories which are community supported. If a package maintainer decides to no longer maintan a piece of software then you are on your own because nobody official will care.

    Also the advertisment von Ubuntu to have five year support is kind a BS, because if you take a look at Debian you will notice and do the math with LTS you will also get five years...

    which I have no idea how to deal with, or even what they are

    Well, then I suggest to start learning since these boards - and even though Armbian makes it easy enough to get started - are still development boards.

     

    There are no drivers for gc2035 in mainline available and the support for stoneage kernel version 3.4.x and 3.10 has been dropped due to lacking upstream support.
