Hello OPI5 users. Running Joshua Riek's Ubuntu distro, I keep getting stability issues. Perhaps because I keep using Xorg. Perhaps because hardware acceleration is buggy. In the past I used super stable Armbian OPI5 distro's without hardware acceleration. Infact I still use Armbian on another RK3588 box, I don't think it has EVER crashed, running docker, Mosquito, HomeAssistant, and a buch of other things.
Now that my Orange Pi 5 gets a slightly more serious use as webserver, I really like to get rid of the unpredictable Xorg crashes, and gladly would sacrifice HW acceleration for stability. My situation is this:
Using JR Ubuntu
Because I want to use headless RealVNC (runs only under Xorg) for several devices I switched off Wayland
Using a slightly hacked RealVNC server originating from Raspberry Pi
Want to use OPI5 as a NodeJS + Nginx webserver serving Node apps now
Any suggestions for a super stable uncrashable distro for the Opi5, for server use but with gui? I kind of hate to set everything up again, especially with the internal M.2 sata quirks, but I gotta have stability now. Hopefully I can ask a second question: is there an easy way to totally turn off HW acceleration in JR Ubuntu? Maybe I should try that first...
Kind regards,
Bas
