Comment on What OS do you like for digital signage/kiosk/dashboard only?

I’ve used Armbian and DietPi. Currently running a magic mirror on a Rock64 and a NAS on an ODROID HC4. Of the two OSes, I think I’d recommend Armbian. Skip installing a DE and just get a basic X session with a simple web browser.
Note that MagicMirror is web based, so the setup steps for putting up a web browser would be similar.

I do exactly this with Armbian and an Orange Pi Zero 3 for a little Home Assistant display.
Autostart a browser in kiosk-mode on boot. Nice and simple.
I also made an image of that SD card if I ever need to set up another.
