That's for sure but Allwinner seems to have quite a bad reputation when it

I wasn't able to install cinnamon, and I gave up trying all the desktop

A question about kernels, what are linux-generic-headers packages, and why
are they sometimes held back when I run sudo apt-get upgrade?
Apparently they're used to build third-party modules for your kernel.
Sometimes you need to dist-upgrade instead. From the manual page of
apt-get(8):

It just means the module won't be automatically loaded. (Unless required by
some other module.) There should be no freedom implications since all the
