Pic related is my home server sitting behind my living room TV.
Radxa Rock5b, 32GB ram + 4TB Nvme drive & the OE passive heat sink case.
Running Armbian v25.5 (with the stable mainline kernel)

QBittorrent WebUI for downloads & DDClient to apply openDNS Adblock config.
Samba for SMB sharing over my LAN & infuse on client devices to handle metadata for movies & tv shows.

Setup is totally headless with configs done via SSH or X11 window forwarding to my MacBook.

Although I really like the RK3588, hardware acceleration isn’t fully implemented on the mainline Linux kernel yet. The 8 core CPU is still plenty fast for remuxing movies but if you want to take advantage of the dedicated video encoding VPU, you’d have to either wait for mainline support or use Rockchip’s vendor Linux kernel (at the potential expense of stability).

Overall, really happy with the setup. Idles at 37°C & totally silent. Full hardware support for the 3588 is slowly but surely being added to the mainline Linux kernel & everything is absurdly stable

8/10. Highly recommended to people who like to tinker
