yeah I think I have an orange, a mango, a nanopi, and a couple entirely written in chinese that are different from each other. Just before reddit went senile I was planning on posting images to try to ID the unknown ones but I didn’t and got busy with stuff less likely to be a dead end.
Can anyone confirm if it is indeed the case that you can’t just put whatever os you want on these things, or if it is possible by jumping through some hoops that google would never show me in favour of showing me other shit that makes them more money?
Running into this issue with nixos and the mango pi bored currently lol

Usually you need to patch some stuff as a lot of the hardware doesn’t have mainline support. For the mango pi I found this

The nixos link there works but it’s a bit out dated
