I tried it 
- thanks!
My feedback:
- rndis works, see my persistent MAC addresses here: https://xyzdims.com/3d-printers/misc-hardware-notes/iot-milk-v-duo-risc-v-esbc-running-linux/#Static_IP_for_Host_with_RNDIS which you might include
- I had to use
apk [add|update] --no-check-certificateotherwise installations fail
I tried Ubuntu (as posted in Ubuntu on the milk-v duo) but apt is really slow, so for now ArchLinux and AlpineLinux are the best choices with a decent package manager.
