hello,

as alwas: imho. (!)

is it possible to install for example a current "vanilla" debian arm64 on this mainboard!?

what i mean by that:

write the "official" debian arm64 installation image to a thumbdrive, press some key & boot into the installation!?

and run the resulting system with the distributions "offical" kernel from the debian arm64-architecture!?

w/o jumping thru a few "hoops" like a lion in a circus ... ;)

i know ... the "openness" of the descendants of ibm pc at compatible machines was some kind of a "historical" error by ibm, but i got used to it!!

i like to "own" hardware i bought with my hard-earned money. i heavily prefer hardware, which is easily bootable from "inoffical" boot-medias - read: FOSS ... eg. linux/*BSD/...

and i'm not interested in "clamped down" hardware a la "most" available ARM boards - regardless of notebooks/tablets/phones ...

just my 0.02€
