Awesome
This thing is great for a webserver I've been having a blast for several weeks configuring and running my dns records and webserver from it using the TinkerOS supplied by asus on their website I've got this thing running with lighttpd, and bind9 at 60MB working memory!! I'm hosting 3 domains from it with php fast-cgi and free SSL from letsencrypt.
I did briefly look at the desktop environment when I first got it (TinkerOS) youtube playback at 1080 was pretty jittery but I didn't dive in deeper to see if I could smooth it out because that wasn't my primary reason for purchasing this. 1080 local playback of video was flawlessly smooth (Sintel sample).
I've heard some concerns about the repos being stale and I have to say I have not found this to be the case the only upgrade hold backs are the desktop environment everything I've installed to date on it for webserving, dns, caching, etc have been current version releases
There is also Armbian distro that looks usable for this but I have not tried it.
Side note: if you're having troubles installing TinkerOS (Not booting just a red light) try using Etcher. I first tried unetbootin which would not work
