apt repository does not offer 23.05 packages (yet). Risk of break existing installation is too high so shipping is delayed or skipped entirely until 23.08 is released.
However you can always use the build framework to create your own set of firmware packages and install them via dpkg. https://github.com/armbian/build/

We cannot provide images in each and every kernel/userspace constellation for each and every board. Necessary storage and traffic are huge already.
You can use the build framework to creat images as needed: https://github.com/armbian/build

Docker needs some kernel stuff that has been introduced after 4.9.y was released. So the only way is to run a more recent kernel which probably does not support all hw features the board has to offer.

No.

They are not available via apt yet

- added missing Rockpi 4C plus
- enabled Mekotronic boards https://www.armbian.com/download/?device_support=Supported&tx_maker=mekotronics
- added Orangepi 5 Plus
 
In case there is another missing or broken images, please report, here or to Jira directly https://armbian.atlassian.net/browse/AR-1765 

Yep. Totally missed that. Didn't come to my mind it's new and needs to be partition first. It works now, as intended.

@Minh do you know what does `omxh264enc` mean? I recommend you to google it first.

Interesting. Gonna look into that.

Having used YOCTO for a couple of years at work I assumed that creating my own Armbian image was going to be difficult. However to my suprise I was able to create a Bullseye image for the Orange Pi R1+ LTS in less than 1 hour. And, .... it actually runs correctly on the target board. That is pretty good.

Depends. If you are impatient yes, you have to download new img and use this.
If you can wait a bit until our apt repositories are up to date then a common apt upgrade will do.

Armbian does not provide updates for userspace packages. Firmware (u-boot, kernel) however may (or may not) receive further updates until something breaks (and nobody volunteers to fix).

I have also noticed this issue on nanopi duo2. I tried to find out the cause of it and I think its caused by this upstream commit. I added a revert patch in userpatches/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.1 and compiled an image. Image was able to boot successfully. I am going to investigate a bit more about why its impacting 32bit allwinner boards, and will raise a merge request with the fix once I have it ready

I think the one you have will be fine. Just don't connect the red wire, even on boards which have 4 pins.

No idea. I don't use windows for such things. Too much annoyance.

Another try: 'Armbian_23.5.0-trunk.275_Nanopineo_bookworm_edge_6.2.16_minimal.img' works!
So filesystem resize, account creation, reboot, power cycle. U-Boot reports: 2022.04-armbian (May 25 2023 - 19:26:34 +0000) Allwinner Technology
 

GPU drivers have nothing to do with Armbian. Armbian can only show how to use them. We are not driver developers.
It is expected that the blob Rockchip driver runs way better than the open-source panfrost/panfork drivers. Panfrost might improve in time. N2/N2+/VIM3 at first also performed worse than RK3399 but after time it now outperforms RK3399 by a lot.
Both drivers are very useful to me.
You can use the blob by running in x11 and run your program with "malirun programname"
Not everything will work, but for example PS2 emulation works perfect like that.

Video playback has nothing to do with GPU drivers but VPU drivers. For that there is the multimedia ppa from AmazingFate.
