Hello everyone,
I’ve recently been experimenting with running lightweight Linux distributions on my Orange Pi board. While the installation process is fairly straightforward, I’ve noticed that performance optimization can vary greatly depending on the distribution, kernel version, and additional configurations.
Here are a few points I’d like to open for discussion:
  • Recommended Linux distributions:
    In your experience, which lightweight distros (Armbian, DietPi, etc.) provide the most stable and responsive environment for Orange Pi boards?
  • Kernel and driver tweaks:
    Have you found any kernel parameters, governor settings, or driver updates that significantly improve performance without sacrificing stability?
  • Storage and I/O performance:
    Many guides recommend moving rootfs to an SSD or optimizing SD card read/write. Which approach worked best for you?
  • Cooling and hardware considerations:
    Do you rely on passive cooling, or have you tried custom cooling solutions to handle higher loads?

I’d love to hear your setups, benchmarks, and real-world results. I aim to gather practical insights from the community so that new users (and myself!) can get the most out of Orange Pi hardware.
Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise and experiences!
