<p>Armbian Linux provides optimized Debian and Ubuntu Linux images for ARM-based SBCs. There is an incredible ecosystem of small computing platforms that are powerful alternatives to the Raspberry Pi. Armbian&rsquo;s mission is to provide a uniform system offering that is trustworthy to run on any of the dozens of OS-neglected ARM single board computers.</p>

<p>Raspbian has dozens of contributors to focus on a single SBC platform. Armbian has a dozen contributors to focus on 100+ SBCs spread over 30 platforms.</p>
<h3 id="balancing-development-and-support">Balancing Development and Support<a class="headerlink" href="#balancing-development-and-support" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Given the point above, resources are thin. Armbian developers have to focus on the core mission of maintaining the <a href="https://github.com/armbian/build">Armbian Build Platform</a>. We heavily rely on other members of the community to support each other. Although Armbian does provide a lot of <a href="https://github.com/armbian/config">user friendly features</a>, the reality is that Armbian is for more advanced users. If you are really struggling with your SBC, you may want to consider first getting more comfortable with Raspbian Linux on the Raspberry Pi. </p>

<p>SBC and TV Box manufacturers love to design and ship new products. Unfortunately they do not like to spend time on software and instead rely on community projects such as Armbian to fill in the gaps.</p>

<p>A distributed image is compacted to real data size and starts at around of 1G. Size is optimized for SD card usage. Bigger is better. Installing applications later severely reduces the life of your SD card. They were not designed for this type of usage.</p>
<h3 id="fast">Fast<a class="headerlink" href="#fast" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Boards are optimized on kernel and userspace level. DVFS optimization, memory log caching, browser profile memory caching, swap usage tuning, garbage commit delay. Our system runs almost read-only and is one of the the fastest Linux for many development boards in just about every case.</p>
<h3 id="secure">Secure<a class="headerlink" href="#secure" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>Security level is on a stock Debian/Ubuntu level and can be hardened with the configuration utility. It provides a good starting point for industrial or home usage. The system is regularly inspected by professionals within the community. Each official stable build is thoroughly tested. Images are a direct base for all 3rd party builders.</p>
