Another reason for the slow performance - poor cooling. This is the problem of almost all cheap TV boxes. Linux uses all the resources of the device and therefore requires a good heat sink for normal operation.

Cooling is not a problem. Problem is poor io performance. Yes, i installed desktop environment on server, what's wrong with that?

It's hard for 1gb ram(in real use even less - some for gpu reserv, some for tmpfs). Partial solution use armhf browser instead arm64, it's utilize less ram in some case arm64 use more than x2. Also disable and don't load pulse, install light wm instead xfce etc.
I don't think memory is the main issue here. 800+Mb is perfectly fine for simple tasks like opening 1 simple web page in a browser.

The version of the image ? The medium from which the system starts ? 1Gb of RAM is not enough for full-fledged work of graphic DE.
Tried multiple versions. Now running latest armbian 5.62 based on ubuntu bionic server. Running from usb2.0 flash stick (tried with faster usb3.0 flash stick - did not work for me). I do understand it's not enough for full-fledged work. But opening 1 web page in browser should not (basically) freeze this hardware for like 10 minutes, i think.

I've finally got more or less linux compatible tv box - x96 (1Gb/8Gb model, based on s905x soc). Managed to run armbian on it. Have a couple of question:
1). Sound works, but only via hdmi. Is there a way to make it to work via av-output?
2). WiFi does not work out of the box. Is there a way to make it to work? 8189etv chip.
3). It seems, any disk activity slows down the system, or more like frezees the system. Is there as way to remove those freezes? Running browser in GUI is almost impossible, some simple web pages freeze tv box for minutes almost completely...

personally for me, not familiar with any of the models
Can you recommend me some cheap and easy-to-do-linux models not on my list?

Today I got a package with the TV box on the basis of RK3328.
This is the MVR9.
3A power supply included.
In the near future I plan to start work on the initial testing and preparation for the installation of Linux.
No chance for rk3368 support?

The problem is I'm not very skillfull when it comes to linux insides, so most of your words sounds like magic to me.
I think most I can do is follow step-by-step instructions.

Hello. I have victsing vitv-2 android tv box based on rk3368 processor. I want to try to install some sort of linux on it. So, my question is: is there any chance armbian will support this processor? I see some other rk32*/rk33* are supported...
ARMBIAN for Amlogic S905 and S905X (ver 5.44 =<)
