Orange Pi 5 plus Armbian and Ubuntu NVMe 

It's an interesting board. I hope they continue to optimize it. All too often, these companies take the money and run.

Lo felicito por realizar las pruebas con las Distribuciones principales, nos ahorra el tiempo de elegir para el escenario que necesitemos implementar.

There is a model of chipset cooler with adjustable brackets that installs perfectly on the Orange Pi 5 Plus. Mine has one, used Artic MX-2 thermal paste, and it works great even in passive mode though in hot days it gets a bit too hot to touch. When I find out where to get a connector for the fan, I'll install one.

Extremely helpful video to know what each OS is like. Thanks for uploading!

The other night I was thinking I hope you make a video like this. Then you did... Excellent. Thanks very much. I love the KDE Plasma theme and icon pack you went for. I'm using them both now on my main PC. I like that the video showed you trying to make the perfect setup for a daily driver and you almost got it too. Soon hopefully. Also, yes, KDE Plasma is the correct answer!

Great, finally some progress on the hardware acceleration front!

I had the same issues with Chromium on Armbian (Gnome). But then I logged in with Wayland, and it works fine on Wayland (OP5).

I don’t have the best luck with Armbian for the same reason, but a lot of other people seem to like it.

I see so I just need ssd external case for the flashing process this help a lot thanks

Thank you!! That video is the reason to install Ubuntu in order to have gpu acceleration.

Could you please review the armbian installation for the oranje pi 5 plus with more current systems? I think it would be interesting to revisit this SBC

It is my answer to all people asking - why do you run Ubuntu, when so many nice distros around? Sure, but if you need a machine for a work, not for play, the video is answer.

i connected the ethernet cable, started my orange pi 5 plus but I dont have internet end1 is shown as down, what can I do?

I like Joshua's build but it is a hassle that you have to reinstall every update

I havnt tried Armbian yet gonna mess around with my hp t350. that does look though. thank you.

Armbian released new version on July 6. Chrome has integrated video optimizations. I found out hard way extras do not improve performance.

Generally root access is not authenticable by default (security issues, as we see for desktop installation) in this case in Arbiam is it mandatory to create authentication for root? I'm just starting to learn about this, sorry for the question. Tks

Could you explain to me the utility of the HDMI in ?

I see you use Cura... Good to meet another man of culture 😂

Would anybone know of a M.2 WiFi+BT module that works with the 5 Plus? The module sold for the 5 does not work with the 5 Plus.

should do an arch Linux video. I like how armbian is set up so that's what I use.

The joshua build oftenly force close without reason. I prefer to use armbian ubuntu, not chromium or firefox browser. I use brave dor better stability

You installed linux using NVME ssd but Do you stressed it? I don't think so, because if you stress it, the system goes down it crashes this board has a lot of wonderful caracteristics but it does not work well, even with sdcard it crashes if you run several process.

Hi friend, thanks for the videos. What is the best OS for the "orange pi 5" for use as a computer?

do you recommend ubuntu pro? or is regular ubuntu just fine? also I want my orange pi 5 plus to bond 3 modem connections to give me a perfect wireless signal, any recommendation?

FYI. I suspect the reason start x didn't work is because you need to set your session start up in the xinitrc file.

Surprised your KDE accelerated install did not work. As long as you're using Jammy as your base (be it server or desktop) it should have. Done a few different Armbian Jammy builds here for the NanoPi here including KDE and SWAY builds that work beautifully. Would of been handy to see the output of glxinfo -B, just to see if accelerated was listed, as you can't really go by the override tags in Chromium.

08:00 burn image in nvme with balena, insert to orange pi 5 plus but not booting why?

Hi, I've been using the optimized ubuntu from joshua on my RK3588S orange pi 5 and it's amazing, tho I have some trouble with compatibility for games when using box86/64. A lot of games like Nuclear Throne or Isaac Rebirth that worked on raspbian on my RPi4 seem to throw out library errors that I am unable to fix so far. Armbian has slightly better success rate but lack of hardware acceleration makes it slow to use and the CPU gets much hotter just in desktop. The weird cut down Gnome on armbian is also less than ideal. I am not looking for tech support here, just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences? At this point I feel like I should just wait for the next version of armbian that has a better desktop experience.

How do you change from Chinese to english?

Can you run plex server and try streaming 4k video so can handle ?

hello, could you try to run proxmox on orange pi 5 to see its performance with virtual machines? thanks a lot!!

I have been playing with arbian on orange pi 5. Here are my thoughts. I have tried to make chromium video accell - it kept getting worse as I applied fixes. It might be network ( in chromium ) since you get the arrow/circle symbol. I put on Firefox and all was well. Video played well. On loading video drivers, on you video, it complained about not having hardware drivers, but the last thing it said was: Installing ( whatever thing they call ppa ), press enter to continue or control-c to abort. sometimes, the apt system complains when it thinks you need something and do not have it. I would hope that you could have just pressed enter to add ppa. and then add the other one - then do the rest of the steps. I have done the armbian /orange pi/ video access and works great. play video ( not in browser but with smplayer and whatever is default player ) and video playing at something like 640x480 but streach to almost fill screen - get about 3 to 6% busy on cpu util my desktop is either Mate or Cinnamon - as I cannot get KDE to work. Aiddtional note, armbian is ubuntu and the video drivers ( at HW level ) should be desktop independent - so whether you use Mate/Cinnamon/KDE/Unitiy, those commands for video access should work. Now, thank you - I have another lead to try to get KDE to work ( I have not found the right combination besides using Oragne Pi (.com ) pre-loaded OS - which I hate the concept. so try again with kde. and I did not know that sddm was required for KDE - so thanks. If you need more info, I loaded armbian with cinnamon and then added Mate. that is my armbian build.

I'm about to order one. Quick question, should I buy the official Wi-Fi card? Or is there a better option?

Can you tell me please which adapter do you use for m.2 nvme?

Ciao,si puo' installare Garuda Linux su Orange pi5? Grazie

Interesting. I just got a 5B and have tried 5 OSs so far. I got the best, but crappy performance with Armbian. Josh's build was worse. Too bad none of them worked so great with Firefox though. Chrome blows.

Will you get the new emmc chip for plus versión?

Hello, can we install windows 11 arm on the orange pi 5 plus? Thanks

a mi armbian me funciono muy mal , las que mejor dieron rendimiento fueron ubuntu y debian

I cannot get this to work I flashed armbian to an nvme popped it In my opi5 and it doesn’t boot. I flashed a micro sdcard and it boots off of that, anyone have any idea how to get the nvme to boot?

Could you please provide URL for version that worked well?

basically for OPi5 use ubuntu?

Can boot usb armbian orangepi 5 plus ?

*Promosm* 😃
