Werner's post in Orange pi 5 ultra Armbian13 don't run USBs was marked as the answer
moved to csc
https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-no-universal-image
tl;dr: You are using the wrong image. Get/build one for your board

Werner's post in invalid overlay_prefix rk35xx was marked as the answer
Yes. This is an example of a rk3588 based board of mine:
overlay_prefix=rockchip-rk3588 overlays=panthor-gpu opp-oc-24ghz The overlay names come from /boot/dtb/*/
find an overlay matching your soc and needs and enable by putting its name to overlays=. Then reboot. Having a serial console to read uboot logs can show if it has been loaded properly or in case it did not why.

Werner's post in Building armbian kernel for different distro was marked as the answer
moved since neither a review nor a tutorial.
I made a writeup just a few days ago how to get an idea about how Armbian puts its kernel and uboot sources together with an example for a different board:

Werner's post in Any chance we will be seeing new kernel versions for the 5 Max was marked as the answer
This device is community-maintained. Armbian core team does not monitor its status nor gets involved into development here. However anyone from the community can step up and send fixes.
I saw some stuff upstreamed from time to time for 5 ultra and max, hit somewhere between 6.16 and 6.18 I guess. When rockchip64 gets bumped further they will be available for these boards.
Since mainline is still under development though sticking with 6.1.y vendor kernel isn't a bad option since most things work here.

Werner's post in Home Assistant with full Armbian desktop experience? was marked as the answer
I don't think there are pre-built images with both ha and de by default.
You can try to build your own by adding this extensions to your own userpatches and enable it: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/extensions/ha.sh

Werner's post in Orange Pi 5 Plus multiple "fdee0000.hdmirx-controller: hdmirx_wait_lock_and_get_timing HDMI pull out, return!" errors on boot was marked as the answer
This should have been addressed: https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/pull/373
May take a while until an updated kernel is available via apt. You can always build a up-to-date package by yourself using the build framework.

Werner's post in NVME - on orange pi 3b was marked as the answer
direct boot from nvme isn't possible. Boot loader (u-boot to say) must be present on SPI, eMMC or microSD.

Werner's post in "Double prefix" for overlays in armbianEnv.txt: does not work! was marked as the answer
There are for once some inconsistencies in terms of prefixes across various soc families and for the other configng isn't perfect (yet ).
Feel free to share your issue at its repository: https://github.com/armbian/configng/

Werner's post in Using local kernel for armbian build was marked as the answer
Not sure if it is possible to use a local kernel source directory. At least I don't know how to do that. Easiest is probably just to create a repo and define url and branch in board your custom board config.
-
Werner's post in TTL to RS232 console adapter was marked as the answer
Yes, DB9 won't work.
But if, as eselarm mentions, a proper chip is on board already a simple usb-a to usb-c or c-to-c cable should do.
Check dmesg when connection to see what pops up.

Werner's post in Linux 6.15 released was marked as the answer
Between days and month. Depending on time, issues, regressions,...
Refrain from asking for ETA. Putting pressure on developers who give you something for free is abusive.

Werner's post in Running Armbian build on x86-64 was marked as the answer
Install code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } qemu-user-static package and retry

Werner's post in How to modify the default swap partition size in the configuration file and compile the firmware?? was marked as the answer
Try setting ZRAM_PERCENTAGE=50 where 50 would be half of available memory. Not sure if the builder picks this up.
If it doesn't I'd go the customize-image.sh route and use this to modify the /etc/default/armbian-zram-config file just before assembly closure.

Werner's post in Available frequencies for RK3588 are wrong was marked as the answer
No worries. Everyone here started small
edge and vendor are Armbian terms for kernel branches just like current.
You guessed correct, edge is bleeding edge and usually follows latest mainline kernel (6.14.y today).
vendor is based on Rockchip BSP kernel which is 6.1.y at the moment. While a bit out of date most hw functions work here.
current usually follows latest available LTS mainline kernel.
As you're a beginner and most likely just want things to work I suggest to try a vendor kernel based image first.

Werner's post in Is it possible to build a custom image with a prebuilt kernel? was marked as the answer
If a kernel package exists as artifact in oci cache it will be downloaded and used. Only if there is no artifact it will be built from scratch. After a new kernel version is released it may take a few days until oci catches up.
However once locally built it will also be cached locally so it will be re-used if you start another build.
