Asus Tinker Board – TinkerOS_Debian V2.0.1 (Beta version)

The Asus Tinker Board seeks to offer a good user experience for two different types of users, catering for both Linux and Android enthusiasts. While the latest Android release is no longer labelled a beta release, it still has some serious omissions. In particular, the lack of Google Play Store and a normal Android upgrade path. But on balance, I’m satisfied that Asus has met their objective of offering an attractive user experience for Android users. What about Linux users? Asus has also recently released an update of their heavily customized version of Debian, a popular Linux distribution. The new release remains labelled as a beta release. The changelog highlights some interesting developments.
