alt Hacker NewsI keep seeing suggestions that theres no software support for Orange Pi.
Whats the go there? Is there no distro like Raspbian supporting it?

There's a RV64 port of Debian and the RV2 and R2S are on the list of compatible hardware. No guarantee it'll be easy getting it loaded, it was like pulling teeth to get it on the SiFive U74 board, but that was 7 years ago, so it's GOT to be better by now.

There are plenty of Orange Pi boards with Armbian or unofficial Ubuntu support, but they’re ARM based.
Xunlong (Orange Pi) operates similarly to Pine64, throw hardware at the community and then let the community figure out the software part.
They provide official OS images at release but don't care much afterwards.
