<p>The Pinebook Pro/Pinephone has a variety of images and
distributions with decent-ish Arm64 support. There are some
challenges, but usually solutions for most. Widevine does not
support Arm64 but it is possible to run chromium/firefox in a
docker container for armv7 support (at least, I think that's what
is going on) and watch DRM protected content like
Prime/Netflix/etc. Signal doesn't have a native arm64 build but
some folks have made their own builds that apparently work.</p>
<p>I don't have an Odroid unit yet, but as it is the same SOC
(rockchip 3399 based) I imagine there are similarly lots of
options for distros on the N2+.</p>
<p>On my to-do list is to try to build a clustered LAMP stack on
ARM, but time is in short supply at the moment.</p>

(odroid) has some pretty interesting ARM SBCs <br>

How is operating system support for both the Pinebook and
Odroid boards?</div>
