That happens because you are expecting it to work out of the box -- the orange pi boards are meant for tinkerers. You've got to get your hands dirty to get it to work/game properly. Which can be as easy as a single bash script, however.
t. I use a bash script to automatically install all the necessary packages, commands, etc.
Respectfully no, I literally had to do solder repairs on this board to make it work. I’ve owned it for a while now. I know what’s still rough on it. I’m on fedora mainline, not using armbian hacks.
It’s a problem with jackbox and proton that’s even worse with FEX being stacked on top of it.
...I'm pretty sure you -don't- need to go that far -- just made a quick search about it where the linux version was made available in 2018, and absolutely no one is mentioning the need to do solder repairs.
"Respectfully", you are doing something wrong.
Really? Those 2 resistors weren’t ripped off the board from a previous project gone wrong? Well I’ll be damned.
