An alternative to consider is the Armbian images [1]. I am using their 
buster
desktop release on my RockPro64, and it is working very nicely.

The Armbian distro is based on Debian, and is very similar with only a 
few board
specific patches, and a few cosmetic tweaks such as branded desktop 
wallpaper.
Comparing the two, the similarity is like comparing the Red Hat and 
Centos distros.
