Stay away unless you are up for a challenge (to put it mildly).  No offense, and I don't want to assume your knowledge level, but if you need to ask here, then you are probably not up for said challenge.

 

Choose / purchase one of Supported Devices, instead, and save your hair!

Thanks for this wise reply, I already loose too much time with computers.

My wife thanks you very much

Have a nice day

If you are interested in a little more context, the following is about TV Boxes, but similar generalities can be applied to any sort of (usually inexpensive) ARM (or other) random device you might find on the Internet:
