Armbian 23.11 Release Supports New Boards And Adds
New OS Builds

A new update to Armbian with better support for new
hardware and new builds.

.. . .

Sub-distros aimed at eight or nine new 'odd' SBCs are
now added. Kernel 6.6 is used. Several levels of
support also exist.

One Armbian is relatively minimal Deb, and another
is a Ubuntu-based deriv. (IMHO, skip Canonical
stuff at this point, it's got too weird/proprietary).

I've tried Armbian ... really not bad.

However, for Pi's, I still stick to RPI OS for
maximum compatibility. It's a perfectly good
OS for most every purpose.

Unless there is an overwhelming reason, I stick to whatever is most
popular and best supported and run it as close to vanilla as possible.

+1 Armbian is mostly useful for those Aliexpress-special boards with
some Chinese chip on them, where it's a step above the vendor whose idea of
support is slinging an image on Google Drive and never updating it.

Wise.

Once in a while you need something else for a particular
need, but not so often anymore.

In any case I won't diss Armbian. Fits many needs. If you
love it then ........

I liked those distributions because they had one small FAT partition
with basic stuff to get kernel up and running. That way I could
put everything else on the HDD and only boot kernel from SSD and mount
/ from HDD to get everything else.
