Title: Ubuntu on Firefly RK3399 : bad decision ?
Hi, i am quite disappointed with ubuntu on the Firefly RK3399.

Yes, the opengles mark test shows a horse spinning smoothly, but normal 2D rendering is extremely slow, wifi is often disconnecting, and i'm just scratching the surface...

I tried all ubuntu images, the latest one being from 20170831 on panbaidu.
Youtube video runs like at a few FPS in 1080p ... that's a joke !
You can tell something is really wrong with 2D rendering, just going to a full screen terminal in 1080p when the whole screen needs to scroll up, it takes several frames to redraw the screen.

How can i even write code like that ?

I bought the firefly card because it is based on rk3399 and Samsung Chromebook Plus shows amazing smooth experience on a 2400x1600 screen. I expected something similar with the firefly board or at least better than a simple raspberry pi.

But now i am worried, did i make the bad decision buying this board ?

Thank you the overview page looks nice. But when I click download of Ubuntu image it's redirecting to http://en.t-firefly.com/

So the download doesn't work.

Firefly is almost not for non Chinese in my opinion. Not friendly embedded system for non Chinese. It is my experience so far.

We admit this is the current situation so far.
We'd like to hear your suggestions to make the experience better.
