   @cloud Are there any recent Orange Pi’s with 512mb ram or better that you do not recommend?

   And have you had any issues to note with Lubuntu mobile, maybe less happy running lollipop versus the Armbian version you mention on site?

   Thanks!

      @Shufei We haven't looked at some of the more recent Orange Pi's with the H6 processor. Our main tests were on their boards with the H5 and H3 processors.
      
      We've also found at least 1Gb of RAM is a wise choice if you can. 512Mb can get quite tricky to manage pretty quickly.
      
      We've not focused too much on GUI distributions. A previous contributor was using armbian with a UI and they noticed a bit of additional RAM use. We also don't really have any UI apps in our docs or in the queue for the future. We're mainly focused on making sure others can self-host server software and have focused more on command line types of things.
      
      We even found a management app that'll let users open a command line from a browser.

         @cloud Jolly good, thanks! I’m outlining a funky network remote deployment which would be easier with a debianoid; ssh should be fine but even better to have a web front end to poke at it.

            @Shufei The best we've been able to find is Cockpit (https://cockpit-project.org/) paired with Portainer (https://github.com/portainer/portainer) for managing a lollipop via the web.
            
            The cockpit web terminal is quite powerful (it's a full command line) and Portainer greatly simplifies Docker Container management.
            
            We're a bit behind on the Portainer 'stuff' but overall @kemonine has had good success with both of these as a way to manage a lollipop.

               @cloud @kemonine Thanks this is much more than I thought would be available. It’s quite a era shock to go from eking out kB in a WRT to this.

               Oh, do take your time; I read a bit on your site news that dev is a bit slow. I just appreciate your hard work. I’m a project fan girl / Lollipop groupie. Rooting for you!
