Every Distro/Image has another problem

[hmk]

Just wondering, has everybody managed to find a Distro/Image that is pretty much usable out of the box?

- Latest Armbian Ubuntu (https://armbian.com/boards/olimex-teres-a64): No sound, no trackpad.
- xenial-teres-bspkernel-20190121_144941_EET-1_hdmi_out_v1_5.zip: Sluggish (on microSD), takes up plenty of disk space (and you run out quickly when trying upgrades), FireFox very old and not supported by YouTube, upgrading breaks the system and FireFox.
- Android (android_teres_rev4.zip): Ancient, no sound (have not tried it out, but reported in this forum).

All in all a pretty tedious experience. I only wanted to have a Laptop with sound that can play YouTube videos and have a running slideshow (with Google Docs).

The only thing left to try is "teres_armbian_v1.0_preliminary.zip".

That being said I am not sure if the hardware is sufficient for smooth YouTube experience especially for higher bitrate.

The best bet for heavy video decoding tasks like this is to see if somebody got the LibreElec working for the A64 chip or Teres laptop. My personal experience for video playback with LibreElec and A20 boards was the best.
