@Natanox I've had bad experiences with #bananapi in the past re. upstream kernel support and closed source drivers.
My boards are a fair bit older, but there is just no way to just install a recent version of a Linux on it without it being a very fiddly, painful process because the only really supported kernel is now ages old. For all intends and purposes, their boards have turned into paper weights and turned me of the brand entirely.
I haven't followed then closer so this may have changed.
